Irish Indie Soul maestro Kean Kavanagh is coming in hot for 2025 with undoubtedly one of the albums of the year, this coming of age record brings out all the best flavours of Keans influences from his early upbringing in Rural Ireland, and his Americana influence having been born in Houston, Texas and grown up in Portlaoise in Ireland’s midlands – this record merges the two worlds in a totally unique and effortlessly cool way, incredible songwriting and uplifting melodies that leave you soaring. Mixing Irish folk, soul, blues and indie rock ‘n’ roll, this album packs it all.
Having previously toured with Maverick Sabre, Vampire Weekend and shared stages with Lana Del Ray, and played a plethora of great festivals like Electric Picnic, Primavera and All Together Now, Kean is exploring a whole new world with his developed indie rock show backed by his electrifying band and looking to take over.
