In 2010, he and <a href=\"http:\/\/dayankai.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dayan Kai<\/a> sat around my kitchen table, talked about, and played songs from their collaboration, &#8220;Make It Rain&#8221; in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/archives\/200\" target=\"_blank\">episodes #85 and #86<\/a>.

Keith&#8217;s *other* big project is the actual space where &#8220;Soul Connection&#8221; was recorded. In the time leading up to this new project, he&#8217;s been writing, playing, as well as producing music from lots of other artists. Much of that recent recording has been done at Wind River Studios, a studio he&#8217;s developed in the upstairs open-air room at a goregeous home in the Santa Cruz Mountains.<\/p>\n<p>(I can attest to the great space. I recorded a few holiday tunes there last week, with Keith producing and DJ Higden manning the board and mixing three fun tunes I&#8217;ll release next month. But I digress.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Wind-River-Studios.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-5673\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Wind-River-Studios-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Wind River Studios\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>For &#8220;Soul Connection&#8221;, Keith assembled a dream team band AND brought in his local players we know and love so well.
