Talia Keys

Ms. Talia Keys wields something special; Utah’s famed firebrand just knows how to take firm hold of a tune, climb inside that number, inhabit a character, and make that joint her own. This multi-instrumental talent has laid a loyal local foundation in Salt Lake City clubs for over a decade, and later made her name on nation-wide tours, jam festivals from coast to coast, and as national tour support for Lukas Nelson and Orgone. Keys’ vintage ethos, as well as her trademark fire and brimstone stage presence, are an amalgam of her journey, identity, and influences; a new twist on the rock n’ roll troubadour singing songs of struggle and ultimately, triumph. Like so many soul and blues heroines who have paved the roads before her, Keys writes and sings of the tensions that continue to plague our cultural climate. As a queer woman in today's divided America, she's on a mission to tenaciously deliver an uplifting message while fiercely advocating for the underrepresented. It’s a badge of honor that Talia wears with pride, and infuses into her art. - B.
