Rapper Height to start multi-city tour at Golden West Cafe
Height with Friends will go on a 45-day tour next month, starting with a kick-off show at Golden West Cafe.
The Catonsville rapper Dan Keech, also known as Height, has 25 shows already booked, with several more to be confirmed soon, he said.
Keech, who started performing with another young white rapper, Michael Freeland - who performs as Mickey Free - when they were both in elementary school, has racked up a solid track record here in Baltimore.
He performed with the hip hop group Wounds, and has several EPs and albums to his credit.
Last year Wham City Records Friends Records released his "Bed of Seeds," which can be previewed here.
Free released his own album last year too, and performed at Rams Head Live's New Year's Eve party.
Along with Lord Grunge and Brendan Richmond, the two are also collaborating on a new project, Shark Tank, who have a handful of dates starting later this month as well. A track from their debut album is available on the group's website as a free digital download.
The show at Golden West is February 25. Tickets, at $5, are on sale now at sonar.thundertix.com.
