David Keenan

David Keenan hailing from the border town of Dundalk, Ireland has become one of the country's best known songwriters and live artists in recent years. Still in his twenties he's always refused to pander or conform to the expectations of others and has released new and varied work while touring consistently since 2017. His distinct style, characterised by poetic lyrics and soulful melodies, has earned him great critical praise. His chart-topping albums and captivating live performances mark him as a standout artist in the music scene.Keenan's work exists outside of the mainstream. His lyrics are steeped in poetic shapes and forms, matched by a musical rawness that serves a visceral and deeply emotive live approach. He has a way of connecting people in story and song with an inimitable emotional depth that is rarely found. Experience an evening with David Keenan, an extraordinary innovator in Irish songwriting this January for his first ever Australian performances.“Not just another young lad with an acoustic guitar, Keenan is the sound of Tim Buckley and Brendan Behan arguing over a few jars, while Kavanagh deals Dylan a suspicious hand of cards, and Anthony Cronin and Jack Kerouac furiously try to scribble it all down”– Pat Carty, Hot Press Magazine.
