Tommy Keene was a DC favorite back in the 80's.
Moving from rock to punk to jangly pop.
At one point he was gonna be the next big thing.

Nostalgia, you know, ain't what it used to be. Furthermore, they tells me, it never was.
“A Man Who Does Not Read Has No Appreciable Advantage Over the Man Who Cannot Read” - Mark Twain
Sadly, he is most meaningful to old people from DC, who remember him when he was really hot and popular locally and, as you say, poised to break out BIG.
He was a genuinely supremely talented song-smith working in the pop format. And he never gave up and he never released 'bad' work. He just kept on working on his craft.

“Remember, if it doesn't say "Cuneiform," it's not prog!” - THE Jed Levin
Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
Sorry to hear this sad news. I remember him and had an album back in the day with his nicely crafted jangly rock. I remember there were some dark lyrics that sometimes presented a curious contrast with his exuberant melodic music. Like many I thought he was poised to break big.
