Western Keys is a band from Austin, Texas, led by singer Ben Dickey. Their first CD, Damage, was written in a few weeks and released on The Self-Starter Foundation on 10 September 2002. This EP featured seven songs, which has been categorized as alternative country or indie. Other band members have included John Troutman, Daniel McIntosh, Tom Hudson, Tyler Mallory, Charles Bissell and Leslie Sisson.
