Dave Keffer · music, 1991–2006
kef
If you landed here, you’re probably digging in the past, but I appreciate you just the same!
For about fifteen years, a lot of my creative energy went into making music. I programmed loops and electronic drums on a couple of Prince tours, put out a pop/hip-hop record that had one very fun summer, made a pop/rock record a few years later, and produced a comedy country album with a friend.
This is where all of it lives now: the records, the credits, the lyrics, and a few things saved from the old boxes. Feel free to dig around, and enjoy a little chuckle!

These days most of my time goes into my creative agency, Chuck & Charlie, and a bit of photography. I still write and record music, but mostly for my own enjoyment.
