Besides drums, he also plays clavinet, meat flute, and harmonica. The Greenhornes have released five albums to date, 'The Greenhornes', 'Gun For You', 'Dual Mono', 'East Grand Blues EP' and '★★★★'. Their song 'There Is An End', featuring Holly Golightly, was used in the Jim Jarmusch film 'Broken Flowers', starring Bill Murray.

In 2004, Keeler played drums on the [[Loretta Lynn]] album [[Van Lear Rose]] in the band that album producer Jack White put together. The band called themselves The Do Whaters, and also featured Lawrence on bass and Dave Feeny on pedal steel guitar. Despite containing three future Raconteurs, The Do Whaters share little in terms of musical styling. The Raconteurs are a band formed with long-time friends [[Brendan Benson]], [[Jack White (musician)|Jack White]] of [[The White Stripes]] and "Little" [[Jack Lawrence (bassist)|Jack Lawrence]]. They released their debut album, [[Broken Boy Soldiers]], in April 2006 and its follow-up [[Consolers of the Lonely]] in March 2008.

Recording career[edit]

Their song 'There Is an End', featuring Holly Golightly, was used in the Jim Jarmusch film 'Broken Flowers', starring Bill Murray.

In 2004, Keeler played drums on the Loretta Lynn album Van Lear Rose in the band that album producer Jack White put together. The band called themselves The Do Whaters, and also featured Lawrence on bass and Dave Feeny on pedal steel guitar. Despite containing three future Raconteurs, The Do Whaters share little in terms of musical styling. The Raconteurs are a band formed with long-time friends Brendan Benson, Jack White of The White Stripes and "Little" Jack Lawrence. They released their debut album, Broken Boy Soldiers, in April 2006 and its follow-up Consolers of the Lonely in March 2008.
