About this concert
AN IRISH SONGMAN WITH A POET’S SOUL Experience an evening with David Keenan, an extraordinary innovator in Irish song writing.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. Two critically acclaimed albums "A Beginner's Guide to Bravery" released in 2020, reaching Number 1 in the Independent Charts and the 2021 follow up "WHAT THEN?" marked Keenan's worth as an artist intent on pursuing his own path. The powerful and uplifting single “An Irish Song” has been released ahead of his forthcoming studio album, due for release in early 2024.“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.Doors 7pm, Show 8pm
