Memphian Keith Sykes (featured video-top) has been a singer/songwriter and touring musician for over 40 years. A troubadour and storyteller, Sykes’s songs have been recorded by Jimmy Buffet, Jerry Jeff Walker and Rodney Crowell, among others. To date, his tunes have sold more than 25 million copies worldwide. He has released 13 full-length albums including his latest, the four-song EP, Songs From a Little Beach Town (KSM Entertainment). Last month, Sykes was awarded a Brass Note on Beale Street’s Walk of Fame joining such Memphis luminaries as Elvis, Al Green, Isaac Hayes and our own, Jim Dickinson.
Following his Thacker performance, Sykes will perform a full set at the Shelter on Van Buren (located across the street from Off Square Books in the basement of Neilson’s) at 1221 Van Buren Avenue.
