Embracing the traditional world of Rockabilly, the talented and energetic Keen Kousins combine the rustic and hearty tastes of vintage rock n roll with the honky-tonk flare of country & western swing.
A two-man band with such a uniquely powerful sound and presence, that even the harshest critics begin to forget the meaning of a trio. With slick licks by Eric on guitar, and the strong vocal talent and potent rhythmic beats of Phil on stand-up base, the Kousins supply original tunes as well as classics by Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly, Elvis and more.
The smartly combined energies of comedy and musical talent provide a guaranteed keen time for rockers young and old. Since 2001 they have been making some noise around their local town of Santa Cruz as well as many other places throughout California and Nevada, spreading the thrill of Rockabilly.
Available for private parties, various venues, as well as community events, they have done multiple benefits and fundraisers for members of the community including, the Branciforte Fire Department, Second Harvest Food Bank, Hurricane Katrina Relief Effort, Camp Okizu (for kids with cancer), Good Times Newspaper, and more. Various local venues include the Catalyst Club, Moes Alley Blues Club, Poet & The Patriot Irish Pub, and more. They have opened for such acts as The Safaris, The Blazers, Deke Dickerson, The Chop Tops, The Devil Makes Three, Lil Bit and the Customatics and Hayride to Hell.
