Keith Robertson is the nephew of legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees The Isley Brothers, and a professionally trained drummer, percussionist, songwriter, and producer. The industry first took notice of Keith in 1988 when he received percussion and drum programming credits on Teddy Pendergrass’ Gold Plaque award winning LP “Joy”. From there, he toured as a singer/percussionist with Grammy Award winners “The Dazz Band.” He went on to receive a multi-platinum award for his songwriting collaboration on N-Sync’s 11 million + bestselling CD “No Strings Attached” in 2001. He has written for some of the most popular network and cable TV shows such as America’s Next Top Model, VH1’s “Behind The Music” featuring Jennifer Lopez & Brandy, The Food Network’s “Chopped”, and The MTV Movie Awards, to name a few.
Joining these incredible vocalists is a talented band of multi-instrumentalists, featuring:
Rodney Bowe | Alex Murzyn | Dimi DiSanti | Jesse Culberson | Steve Figueroa
Bassist and vocalist Rodney Bowe has been performing and entertaining in the region for over thirty years in a variety of genres and groups.
Multi-reed virtuoso Alex Murzyn was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. While still a student he began performing with Benny Rietveld, Ollie Mitchell, Gabe Balthazar, and Freddie Hubbard. After relocating to San Francisco he worked with Bobby Hutcherson, Pete Escovedo, Huey Lewis and the News, Sammy Davis Jr., the Temptations, the Four Tops, Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Charles, Arturo Sandoval, Ray Obiedo, Rebecca Mauleon, Bob Florence and Stanley Clark. He currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico where he is an active performer and educator.
Guitarist Dimian (Dimi) DiSanti has been a fixture on the New Mexico music scene for over 40 years. His unique blend of Blues, Jazz and World Beat styles has made him one of the most sought-after guitarists in the region. He released his latest recording, My Big Back Yard, in the fall 2020.
Jesse Culberson is a drummer, composer, and educator from New Mexico. After cutting his teeth in the punk rock scene, Culberson fell into the emotional draw of all things jazz. Since then, he has lent his talents to many New Mexico legends, including Bobby Shew, Artha Meadors, Jawny Badluck, Kathlene Ritch, and the award winning rock band Dust City Opera.
Albuquerque native Steve Figueroa began playing the drums at age 9. He then switched to the piano at age 17 and has been playing it ever since. Steve is largely self-taught. He has been a fixture on the local New Mexico music scene for many years, band leading and performing in a wide variety of jazz, Latin, and pop music ensembles. Steve began working with NDI New Mexico in 2002, and has worked steadily in the Albuquerque outreach programs ever since.
