$KENAN FLANNERY (IE) [FOLK\/SONGWRITER\/STORY TELLER]$

We are please to announce the fantastic KENAN FLANNERY for a special evening of story tellin’ and song at the Kro.
Praised for writing “bone-breakingly beautiful” music. Kenan Flannery is a 25-year-old IYMA’s award-winning folk songwriter from Dublin, Ireland. Kenan at his core is a storyteller for the damned and broken, writing heart-wrenching songs and stories with a voice “that hits you with the intensity of a hundred Irish poets and musicians”. He mixes his upbringing of Irish folk/ballad music from the likes of The Dubliners with his love of American folk music and has been compared to the likes of John Prine, Townes Van Zandt and Blaze Foley.
In 2022 Kenan set out on his debut US tour playing venues and festivals throughout the USA including the renowned Red Ants Pants Festival and The Crabtree Sessions on North Haven Island, Maine He’s also graced the stages of some of the biggest venues in Ireland over the years including The National Stadium and the famous Ruby Sessions, which has seen artists like Frank Turner, Damien Rice, and Ed Sheeran, amongst many more. In addition, Kenan got to support The Wolfe Tones in front of 2000 people and Gravedancer on his debut tour of Ireland.
In 2023 he performed on the stage of Electric Picnic and The Secret Song in West Cork, sharing a stage with the likes of Lisa Hannigan, Junior Brother, Ye Vagabonds and Lemoncello and went on another US Tour doing 27 shows across 6 states
In 2024 Kenan embarked on his debut European tour across 8 countries and was featured on festival line ups with the likes of Lightin' Luke, Possessed by Paul James and Pat Reedy. His shows have been praised for being one of a kind, packed with stories and songs that will have you laughing, crying, singing and dancing.
Recently, Kenan has released his first ever live album titled “Live at Whelan's, Dublin, Ireland” recorded during his sold out live show in Dublin. With plenty of new music and more national and European shows in the pipeline, Kenan Flannery has made a name for himself as one of the most unique performers and storytellers in the international folk scene today and one to keep an eye on.
