Keith Syler

Born in Durant, Ok. Lived in Oklahoma, Texas, and now in Fayetteville, TN. Keith Syler

Owned a production company and worked for lots of regional and national acts in that capacity including Restless Heart, Oak Ridge Boys, Asleep at the Wheel, Larry Gatlin, Brothers of the Heart, T Graham Brown, Shenandoah. Toured for 9 years with Holly Tucker before Covid shut us down.

A friend recommended me to the Brothers in April 2023 and we hit the road. We work a lot and I love it.

I’m a singer and acoustic guitar player. Worship leader for 27 years. I love to work on and build guitars, and any other custom woodworking projects. I built my own CNC router years ago and enjoy that whole process. I love working on old buildings and currently working on restoration of a 1850s 2 story brick home that was neglected for decades.

Influences: i can’t think of all of them in one sitting, lol.

Bob Wills, Merle Travis, Flat & Scruggs, Tommy Emmanuel, Little River Band, Toto, Eric Johnson, Alan Parsons, The Imperials, Phil Keaggy, Ricky Skaggs, Keith Whitley, ZZ Top, Dolly Parton, Glen Campbell, Bellamy Brothers, Styx, Don Francisco.

I was singing BGV and playing acoustic out with some friends and the feedback in the monitors was horrendous. The lead singer grabbed me and said “go fix it MacGyver!!!” I tweaked the mixer until it stopped and sounded good. I have kept at it and studied the live sound science intensely ever since. I enjoy math, science, and technology…so I’m right at home. I was a network administrator when the opportunity came up to buy a production company, so I jumped in.
