Biography

Heartland Rock and Roll perhaps best describes Coffman’s wide ranging style on his first full length album, Killer Eyes. From the heel-stomping corner pub song "What We’re Reaching For" and the dancehall flavor of "Ellie" and "Killer Eyes" to the Gospel infused "The Mountain", Keeton's style of music evokes the small town Texas sound he grew up with, matched with the knuckle and grit of his true Rock and Roll soul. 
 The 11 track full length's breadth is furthered by the stillness and melodic perfection found in folk based "The Race", "Promise" and "The Memory" - tunes that quickly show us Coffman's love for the great sonic storytellers (Springsteen, Petty, Fleetwood Mac) and his life-long quest to follow in their footsteps. 
 You hear at once Coffman’s lifelong influences, from Bruce Springsteen to The Wallflowers, but a closer listen reveals his love for Motown sonics and the Phil Spector Wall Of Sound. Many will liken his music to more current personal favorites, Dwight Yoakam, Foy Vance, Ryan Adams and Texas native David Ramirez.
