Keystone BIO

Keystone is Pennsylvania's dynamic duo; like Batman and Robin if you will. Consisting of Patrick Kreisl and William Letcher both raised in Hazleton PA, which was once known as Mob City. Since the 70's the sound of Mob City has changed just like the music of the world.

Patrick Kreisl has performed in front of as few as one person and as many as 12,000 people. Patrick played with many bands in his youth. In 1987, Patrick formed a dynamic group called Altervyne, which in 1988 released a single which helped them land a major gig at the Atlantis Hotel Casino in Atlantic City, NJ, This lasted until the Atlantis was sold in 1991. 1992 saw the birth of a new era for Patrick in the form of a progressive group called Crybaby; they possessed an energy to be reckoned with. 1994 saw the release of Crybaby's debut album, A Good Firm Musical Spanking. With the help of Escape Music Ltd. and KTZ Records, A Good Firm Musical Spanking would receive strong reviews, and satisfying sales in Europe and Japan. Crybaby also secured a spot on the ballot for the 1994 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Album. Wade Perry from Mean Greek Mgt., (Nippy Mgt.), arranged tour dates with Gary Richrath (REO Speedwagon), the Canadian band Lipstick, The Hooters and Warrant. In 1995, with the help of Jan Lewan (a Grammy nominated Polka star), Patrick became a voting member of NARAS (National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences), which he still holds to this day. Over the years a few great friendships have developed. Gary Pihl (guitars: Boston/Alliance), has helped Patrick develop great recording/engineering skills along with inspiration to achieve a great guitar sound. Andy King (bass: The Hooters) has also been a great influence.

William Letcher is an accomplished bass player and a big part of both Runway Queen as well as previous Keystone and Crybaby projects, providing both musical talent and assisting in the production and engineering. Letcher has a very diverse music background; from Country, to Polka, and his first passion good old fashioned "Rock n Roll", he has been with bands like: "Wild Cards", "All American Country", "Country Fever" and "The New Travlers".

Keystone's newest album Runway Queen, has one of the greatest engineers mixing this cd. That wonder man is Robert Berry. Berry is a very creative engineer, as well as being a multi-instrumentalist. Berry also plays all the drums, most of the keyboards, a few bv's and some bass on a song or 2 on the new Keystone CD. In the late 80's Robert fronted the group "3" along side Carl Palmer and Keith Emerson (Emerson, Lake & Palmer). Robert has worked , as well, with greats like Sammy Hagar, Gary Pihl (Boston/Alliance), Steve Howe (Yes/Asia) and Ambrosia.

Keystone Runway Queen has gone international.... Escape Music LTD and Frontiers Records are now distributing world wide!

Hi Keystone
Thank you very much for the great review of an old song I recorded with my former band Costin. It's a shame we aren't together any more but at least the music is still around. I've been trying to get it to the rite people and maybe get the songs re-recorded by another artist or band but that has been easier said than done for sure.
Thx again Keystone
Best to you

Ante/Costin

Hi, Many thanks for your kind review of Your Heart Won't Let You Down, I'm glad you liked it. I get the use of a bit of something extra in the chorus, will certainly bear that in mind if I ever do an edit.
I had a quick listen to Never Say Goodbye and fully understand it when you say you're a rock guy, what a great solid sound! I was brought up on a mixture of Deep Purple, Santana, Uriah Heep etc. but also CSNY and the Eagles, so I love all guitar music really.

Thanks again and good luck with your projects.

Bob
