Keith believes that there’s a difference between pursuing a passion and chasing one.

Passion matters, but so does preparation (and paying the bills).

Moral of the story... the dream is important. So is the life you build around it.

Are you still waiting to pursue your dream, or have you begun the journey?

Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing Keith's story across British Columbia.

What continues to amaze us throughout this tour are the people we meet along the way.

The conversations and stories we share are all reminders that no matter where we come from, we all carry challenges, hopes, and moments that shape who we are.

That's what this has always been about.

A banjo might get things started, but community is what keeps this journey moving.

If we're coming to your town, we'd love to see you there!

Meet Gourd 🪕

With an animal skin head and a design rooted in its African origins, Gourd is a reminder that every story starts somewhere.

Long before sold-out theatres, standing ovations, and Keith acquiring what some might call an unreasonable number of banjos.

The historical significance of this banjo echoes throughout the earthy wooden notes it produces.

Proof that sometimes the oldest stories still have the most to teach us.

Kind of like your grandpa on the porch in his rocking chair, pipe in mouth, quietly waiting to say something that will stay with you forever.

Want to meet more of Keith's banjos? This story is far from over.

Every story shared here started with someone deciding their voice mattered.

Yours does too.

If Tomatoes has touched your life in some way, we'd love to hear your story on our community page through our website (link in bio).

And if it's on your heart but you're not ready to share yet, save this for when you are.

Everyone has a story. Your story matters 🫶

Some stories stay where they started, but this one keeps traveling 🌎

From small towns to international stages, Keith’s banjos have carried this story further than anyone could have imagined.

Connecting strangers, building community, and reminding people they’re not alone in their own journey.

And somehow, no matter where we go, the message always feels the same: stories matter. People matter. Music matters.

📍We're heading to Saturna Island tomorrow!

Follow along to see where the journey goes next.

Ten years of remission 🙏

Ten years of extra sunrises, shared laughter, music, friendship, adventure, and moments that could have so easily been taken for granted.

When Keith was facing cancer, the future looked very different than it does today. That's part of why gratitude remains such an important thread in both his life and this story.

Today, we're taking a moment to celebrate that milestone, and we invite you to do the same.

Pause for a moment.
Slow down.
And take notice of something you're grateful for.

What started as one story has now raised over $1.3 million (CAD), which has helped support 76 different charities since 2018.

And the easiest way for you to join the cause is to come watch our show!
