I’m hearing that Tommy Keene has passed...
People who know him have said so on social media. Awaiting official confirmation. Hope it isn’t true.

His website confirms it. Says he went unexpectedly in his sleep.

Yoiks.
Can't say I was a huge fan, but he was a "hometown boy" and had some good songs. Saw him at least a couple of times back in the mid-'80s.
R.I.P.

I heard the news today oh boy.
Actually, I saw him in L.A. last month.
Keene released his ninth album in 2011and has worked with Bob Pollard from Guided By Voices, T-Bone Burnett, and Don Dixon.
He most recently opened for Matthew Sweet, performing at Brighton Music Hall in Boston Sept. 16.

I have to confess I only knew him from his Robert Pollard collaboration.
Where would rock 'n' roll be without feedback?

I'd heard his name a lot from my friends who play in the power-pop scene here, he was obviously very well liked and respected by many wonderful musicians.
