Keith Charles Dovoric is a NJ-born-and-based singer-songwriter, musician, author, and educator. He began playing the guitar at age 12, merging music with literary pursuits to craft an individualized writing and performing approach that, nearly thirty years later, bears distinction from the common fold of pop currency. Citing a wide swath of influences, from Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Warren Zevon to Ernest Hemingway, Jack Kerouac, and Albert Camus, Mr. Dovoric has performed throughout the NY/NJ region and recorded seven albums of original music (no. 8 is in the works). He lives in the nondescript suburbs with his wife and two children. He teaches writing.
