Throughout his career Keelaghan has documented the lives of individuals and historical events in transportive songs that have earned him both Juno and Canadian Folk Music Awards. His compelling voice and storytelling prowess bring the struggles and relationships of real people to the fore. Whether it’s Japanese internment, forest fires, mine work or just a good old love story, Keelaghan delivers in unforgettable style.
David Woodhead has been touring with Keelaghan all over North America and making a big name for himself. His instrumental skills are visible on guitar, ukelele, recorder, piano, banjo, violin, and his instrument du jour bass. He adds depth and emotion both as an accompanist and as a soloist. His jazz experience and his classical foundation make him a dynamic and unique improvisor.
