Sparks in a Wire

Keith A. Wilkins — the mind behind Staying Alive — is a 75-year-old independent songwriter from Australia with a growing catalogue of 170+ original tracks. He doesn’t perform the songs himself, but he writes every line — blending protest, satire, resilience, and raw truth into bold musical stories that speak for the voiceless and challenge the mainstream.

From folk and outlaw country to acoustic rebellion and cheeky satire, Staying Alive is not about fame — it’s about survival, expression, and legacy. These songs are sung by others, but the story, the soul, and the sting come straight from Keith’s pen. More Songs here
