Dundalk singer / Songwriter, Poet & Composer David Keenan announced himself as on of the standout creative forces in Irish music in 2020, topping the Irish Independent Music charts with his with his debut album A Beginners Guide To Bravery.
A working class kid from Dundalk, Keenan has spent his life forging his own artistic path driven to write lyrical songs that play out like stories, soulful outsider anthems that celebrate the sacred and profane and aren’t afraid to cut to the core of things.
His live shows are praised for their soaring ability to uplift and connect audiences whether solo with guitar and piano or with a full band he’s one of those rare raw voices to be heard and felt.
His most recent album Modern Mythologies was released last year to widespread acclaim.
“This is a David whose songwriting talent is Goliath-sized; it is the Dundalk man’s best yet, no less a lyricist than Leonard Cohen would have been proud of the truths so beautifully told on
Incandescent Morning.”- Danny McElhinney, Irish Mail On Sunday
