Years of placing his passion for music on hold to pursue his career as a Park Ranger have not hindered Keith Paluso's ability to perform. As a park ranger, he was well sought after as a public speaker and entertainer for his wit, enthusiasm, and passion for performing to a variety of audiences. Keith's music is sincere, heartfelt, and accompanied by a genuine personality that will make an audience reminisce about campfires with friends long gone.
Keith Paluso came to The Voice Season 15 straight from the lifestyle of a Tennessee State Park Ranger. Inspired by the birth of his first child, he has made a recent comeback to singing, songwriting, and performing after taking a near 10-year hiatus to live an adventurous Ranger lifestyle.
Keith's unique sound is a blend of different styles ranging from rock and country to the rootsy blues that are a deep part of his Memphis, TN heritage. His musical influences include the like of Chris Stapleton, Marc Broussard, JJ Grey and Mofro, Anders Osbourne, and Luther Dickinson. Keith's backing band - The Wolf River Gospel, is led by his brother and multi-instrumentalist, Keegan Paluso.
Keith has recently released an EP entitled "The Linden Ave. Sessions" that is available on all online music distribution platforms. The EP, which he wrote, recorded, and produced with his brother, Keegan Paluso, is a mix of songs inspired largely by rural living, history, love, and hardship
