Keith Armitage
Singer/Songwriter (Sydney, NSW)

Keith Armitage is a talented original songwriter and performer, having performed around Australia and overseas for many years. Growing up listening to artists such as Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens and Neil Young, songwriting became Keith’s greatest passion.

Studying to learn more about the craft of songwriting, Keith attended seminars and workshops, picking up five songwriting awards along the way. One of these songs ‘Holden HT’, a nostalgic tribute to his favourite car, won the Australian Songwriters Association award for best novelty song of 1993. He has also studied acting and television presenting; guest appearing in ‘Water Rats’, and countless commercials. The last ten years has also seen Keith in high demand as a solo performer building a large following playing in the Snowy Mountains resorts, at the Darwin Casino, on the cruise ship Fairstar and nearly every room in Sydney that housed a beer tap.

Keith’s love of songwriting has also lead him to begin organising and hosting"Songwriters Live" night at The Old Manly Boatshed in Manly and The Hotel Delany in Newcastle which showcases some of Sydney’s top songwriters including Louise Perryman, Steve Balbi (ex-Noiseworks), Jackie Bristow, Amanda Easton and Maz to name a few.

After two years of hard work, being true to himself and writing from the heart, Keith has produced a beautifully written album, The Coast Road.
