Mike Keane

mike keane has been playing music since he was 5 years old. his first instrument was the Irish folk harp which he played for the next 10 years winning numerous awards and competitions.

the release of 'drive on' has really been a source of inspiration for me. it's easy to become complacent once you have the finished product in your hand. that complacency has set in at times but when i think about the process of writing, performing, editing and recording i went through to make this album it inspires me to continue writing song after song testing it out on audiences and making calls as to which will make the cut for our follow up full length record.

mike engages his audience with his quick whit, conversational style and sincere and humble attitude so it is no surprise that he keeps eager audiences entertained whether he is an opening performer or the headliner.

william carpenter was asked in 2005 to join mike on stage. will brings with his alto sax experience influences stemming from jazz, rock, classical and funk.when asked how he became a saxophone player: 'in middle school a classmate and I were arguing of who got the last sax spot. I was closer to the number behind the band director's back, so I got sax.'
