| Biography: | |
|
From Co. Galway, Sean's musical background is impeccable. He is a member of one of Ireland's most celebrated musical families, with a long tradition of music and singing on both sides. Traditional songs sung in a traditional style marked his earliest performances, which began in childhood. Almost as a hobby, he spent his youth collecting All Ireland titles - a mammoth 13 in all - for singing such songs. His early career remained close to the traditional, as he sang with such groups as Shegui, Reel Union and Arcady, the latter of which also featured Sharon Shannon and Niamh Parsons. His solo albums have not been exclusive in genre though the style of singing they contain is unique to Sean Keane and always incorporate ?sean nos? undertones. While primarily a folk singer, he successfully mixes country, blues and pop songs. Sean's many past performances include such prestigious world festivals as the Cambridge Folk Festival, Galway Arts Festival, Tonder in Denmark, Lowell, U.S and many others. In Autumn 1999, he performed at a series of concerts in Dublin's NCH hosted by the `fifth Beatle`, George Martin. Sean performed the Beatles classic `Blackbird` with Sir George's arrangement. Sir George was deeply impressed with Sean's rendition and afterwards generously offered him the musical arrangement of the song for his fourth album The Man That I Am.
