American Idol Contestant Brent Keith To Perform at OCF.Com Senior Bowl

Tuesday, January 26th 2010 @ 9:01 PM    post viewed 492 times

Columbus, Ohio – 2009 American Idol contestant Brent Keith, along with his hit single ‘Looking for a Road’ from the movie Dale, will perform prior to the start of the first-ever 2010 OhioCollegeFootball.Com Bowl which will be played on Saturday, April 17 in Columbus, Ohio.


Brent Keith’s Bio

Brent Keith, a native of Blanchester, Ohio, first gained national attention on the Nashville Star TV talent competition before being selected in 2007 to sing the title track for Dale, a feature film about the late NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Sr. Drawing from country, rock and soul influences as diverse as Vince Gill, Tim McGraw, the Black Crowes and Otis Redding, Keith developed his sound through constant live performances with his band while touring throughout the North and Southeast since 2001. The roadwork helped him land a spot on the second season of Nashville Star, where he finished sixth out of more than 10,000 contestants.

In late 2005, Keith signed with Nashville's Combustion Music and began working with songwriter-producer Chris Farren, whose production credits include Deana Carter's "Strawberry Wine" and "We Danced Anyway." One of their early collaborations, "Looking for a Road," was chosen as the closing title track for Dale, a feature film produced by of CMT Films and NASCAR Images. A music video for "Looking for a Road (Theme From Dale)" was filmed in Nashville in July with director Shaun Silva, whose resume includes more than a dozen music videos for Kenny Chesney and other videos by Rascal Flatts, Sugarland and many others. In 2009, Brent finished in the Top 36 on the hit show American Idol.
