Sometimes paths in life just change no matter where you plant yourself, and composer and and singer-songwriter Keegan DeWitt can testify for unexpected outcomes. Originally from Portland, Ore., DeWitt moved to New York and set his sights on theater and film while studying under key figures such as Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but after making a name for himself by providing scores for pictures such as “Cold Weather,” “No Matter What” and “Medicine for Melancholy,” he found himself moving again. Going on to explore his interest in music, DeWitt and his band, now based in Nashville, are making radio-friendly pop gems like the sing-along-worthy “Say La La” (off  their “Nothing Shows” EP), in addition to the well-received single, “Two Hearts.” DeWitt and band are about to head out again, and this time they’re rewarding fans with a special tour sampler that includes two unreleased songs and new, heavy-hooked and rhythmically detailed track, “Colour.”
