Jennings and Keller is *Laurie Jennings Oudin and Dana Keller*, an acoustic
duo based out of Miami, Florida. They bring a wealth of experience to their
collaboration, from the Broadway musicals of New York to the honky tonks of
West Texas.

Their music is called "Fusion Folk Americana' - a blend of many different
elements that comes from their vast and wide-ranging musical backgrounds.
With the release of their debut CD, "Susan's House" (2007), and the
follow-up CD, "As The Universe Unfolds" (2009), Jennings and Keller are
quickly gaining recognition throughout the country. In 2007 alone, they were
finalists in five songwriting contests across the nation: South Florida Folk
Fest, Suwanee SpringFest, Susquehanna, SolarFest, and Falcon Ridge Folk.

Laurie Jennings Oudin is well-known as the former proprietress of The Main
Street Cafe, which was viewed across the country as the premier acoustic
music venue in Florida. A former Shakespearean actress, Laurie has been a
singer and songwriter for many years. Since the cafe's close in June 2006,
she has been devoting her time to her musical career with Dana.

Dana Keller is a veteran pedal steel, dobro, and guitar player who has spent
years performing on stage or in the studio with such luminaries as Vince
Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Stevie Wonder, Larry Graham, Marvin Gaye, Dave Mason,
Johnny Rodriguez and The Allen Brothers, to name a few. He has opened for,
among others, Spirit, Pure Prairie League, Gordon Lightfoot, Waylon
Jennings, and Buck Owens. Dana has been an endorsee of the Gretsch Guitar
and Drum Company since 1980.
The synergy created from these two diverse talents is apparent in the
responses they are getting from festival directors, club owners, and
audience members. Laurie's and Dana's music is not easy to define, but will
leave a lasting impression on all who listen.




       Quote from Sonny Thomas, The Fiddle & Bow Society

of Winston-Salem, NC

"Jennings and Keller gave us a great night's entertainment. Laurie's laid
back, easy going stage presence and fine singing were solidly backed by
Dana's fine dobro and guitar playing and backing vocals. Dana started off
the second set with some particularly nice finger-style, solo guitar work.
Our audience really enjoyed the show. We look forward to having them back."


       Quote from Lee Herman, Las Alturas House Concerts

of Las Cruces, NM

"Jennings and Keller just played my friend's Harmony House Concert series in
Las Cruces, NM this past weekend and put on a wonderful show. This duo from
Florida plays and sings original songs of life, love and everything else.
Laurie Jennings has a beautiful voice and plays a sweet guitar. Dana Keller
plays outstanding dobro and sings very well. They put on a great show -
great music and great sense of humor and interaction with the audience. I
recommend them highly so please attend a show near you and/or pass the word
to your friends. I just wanted to share the news. Their websites are listed
at the bottom of the email so you can check out their music.
