If you've heard the Keys' garage/blues-rock, Keep It Hid is more in the same realm. Needless to say, it's pretty good.

Watch the performance at Hulu.

In this video for the latter song, Auerbach is accompanied in his Akron studio by his uncle James Quine on vocals and electric guitar, the guy who taught him his first couple songs on guitar: Dylan's "Peggy Day" and the Stanley Brothers' cover of the Carter Family's "Single Girl, Married Girl".

Keep it Hid has been creeping up on us: it's out 2/10 via Nonesuch. Guests include the aforementioned James Quine, Jessica Lea Mayfiel, and Bob Cesare.

Dan Auerbach solo dates:

02/28 - Washington, DC @ 9:30 Club
03/01 - Boston, MA @ Paradise Club
03/02 - Brooklyn, NY @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
03/03 - New York, NY @ Bowery Ballroom
