Joe Keelan
Hi! I'm a solo singer-songwriter from crosby in Liverpool. I have been writing for the past three years and playing over the north west for the past two and a half. Recently my friend Rosy has been contributing some beautiful flute playing to some of my songs and will hopefully one day sing as well. I currently co-run an acoustic event called 'Off The Record' at the zanzibar club, Liverpool, dedicated to providing acoustic artists with a new platform and a warm atmosphere in which to play. I am currently organising other events across the city working as an independent propmoter but rarely make any money from it, ah well.Band/artist history
1983- Born
2004- set up soundclick website. Hmm can't think of musch else.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes, quite frequently across Liverpool and have also played Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford plus a few other places. It's occasionally a bit daunting playing mostly as a solo act but usually it's woth it!! Special moments include 'Off The Record's' opening night in the original 'Jump Ship Rat' venue, an old warehouse converted into an art gallery. We played inside an art exhibition lit up by candles to 150 people and sold out the bar. Everyone listened and it was beautiful. Sorry if i sound like some weird hippy or somethin;, was just a great night.
Your musical influences
Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley are the main two. I also love artists like Kings of convenience, Belle and Sebastian, Bjork, Tori Amos, DJ Shadow, The Streets... a bit of everything tho that's usually a bit too general.What equipment do you use?
Acoustic guitar. Have a Tanglewood and a Guild and love playing both!!Anything else?
