With his first two solo CDs, SECRETS OF THE HEART and SUNDAY, established in the Australian marketplace, Keith Potger released his newest CD, entitled SMILE NOW, in 2010. It is an album that builds on the image that Keith has of writing strong melodies and thoughtful lyrics.

As on his SUNDAY CD, Keith has collaborated with noted Australian film director, screenplay and lyric writer Frank Howson and three of their works are on SMILE NOW.


Keith has been actively writing individually as well, having road-tested many of his songs while on his solo tours of Australia and the UK. One in particular has caught the ear of his audiences and it has become the "bonus track" on SMILE NOW. It is a light-hearted spoof on what it takes to break into the country music market in Australia. The song is entitled NASAL TWANG and audiences quickly pick up the words and sing along.


Touring has been a rewarding part of Keith's solo activities. Keith said: "Getting to know the loyal fans who have supported The Seekers and now come to my performances is gratifying. l believe that the material on SECRETS OF THE HEART and SUNDAY has opened up an extra market for me too and now the icing on the cake is that they all seem to enjoy my original songs as well as the great hits that the group had in the '60s."
