Description

Delighted to announce the return of David Keenan to Mike the Pies on Thursday 7th September 2023 . A night you don’t want to miss.

David Keenan has two critically acclaimed albums “A Beginner’s Guide to Bravery” released in 2020, reaching number 1 in the Independent Charts & the 2021 follow up “WHAT THEN?” marked Keenan’s worth as an artist intent on pursuing their own path. Other works include a published collection of poetry “Soundings of an Unnamed Bird”, live album/concert film “Alchemy & Prose” (2020) and his new album “CRUDE” (2022) followed by the EP “CRUDE BOYO” (2023). Keenan has toured consistently with notable events including two headline nights in Dublin’s Olympia theatre, the main stage of Electric Picnic, residencies in Paris and New York’s Irish Arts Centres & writing the music for Evanne Kilgallon’s experimental play “AN LÁR”.

In recent years he has also joined Hozier, David Gray, Glen Hansard, Counting Crows & Rodrigo y Gabriella on European & North American tours. Keenan has a way of connecting people in story & song with an emotional depth and live presence that is rarely found. Constantly experimenting with the form, you get the feeling that his work will be sung and referenced long into the future.
