An absolute obsession with words and melody took hold of David Keenan at a very early age. It was the writings of Behan, Yeats and Wilde and the soundtrack of Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley and The Dubliners that illuminated his formative years. His first show as a songwriter outside Ireland came in July 2017 supporting James in front of 8,000 people in Manchester. Since then, he's supported Passenger in London, played several festivals and released one EP and several singles in 2017.
