Ahead of the release of his new album David Keenan is taking to the road this October to play hidden gems & hallowed rooms.
With 11 gigs planned, featuring stops in every province in Ireland, the tour is all about the stories, the people and the joy of playing live in some special places.
David says “I’m chasing myth around Ireland, seeking out local stories and folklore as I go.
They say the Irish pub is dying and that magic doesn’t exist in venues anymore? I’m setting out to prove this wrong in October. It’s not about the size of the room, it’s about the people, the place and the music”
