David Keenan 6/11/18 Cafe 9

Armed only with an acoustic guitar and a thick Irish (specifically Dundalk) accent, young troubadour Keenan rolled through a brief set of original tunes. The most difficult configuration is the solo acoustic show, you are at the mercy of the relatively sparse crowd. Keenan had some tunes and some interesting stories between songs. From an explanation of Tir Na Nog ( Irish equivalent of never land), to the helping hand offered by troubadour countryman Glen Hansard in fostering the career of 20-something Keenan, the Irish stories always seem to amuse. A young talent who is putting in the touring necessity always gets kudos from me, especially when traveling from the old sod to do it.
