Bill Keen lead guitarist

Bill Keen began playing the guitar and singing when he was only 10 years of age. He taught himself to play and has never had a lesson. His musical inspiration is Elvis Presley. Before Elvis was famous, Bill was lucky enough to shake hands with him. In 1981, Bill Keen's daughter, Gail Brake, talked him into playing gospel music. He then taught his daughter Gail, and wife Brenda, to play the guitar. They then formed The Keen Family Gospel Singers. Mr. Keen has written over 50 gospel songs. The Keen Family Gospel Singers traveled to and played at rest homes, churches, and prison camps. They played from 1981 to 1992. Bill then stopped playing the guitar all together. He didn't touch his instrument for 10 years. 16 years later, The Keen Family Singers were formed.
