David Keenan is an Irish Singer / Songwriter, Poet & Composer.

A working-class kid from Dundalk, Keenan has spent his life forging his own artistic path driven to write lyrical songs that play out like stories, soulful outsider anthems that celebrate the sacred and profane and aren’t afraid to cut to the core of things.

His live shows are praised for their soaring ability to uplift and connect audiences whether solo with guitar and piano or with a full band he’s one of those rare raw voices to be heard and felt.

Focla ar Chanbhás [Words on Canvas] is a new documentary about David’s life that premiered at the Chicago Irish Film Festival earlier this month and made appearances at Craicfest (NYC), LA Irish Film Festival & Solas Nua (DC). It will have it’s European premiere at Krakow Film Festival in May.

Released to incredible acclaim in November, ‘Modern Mythologies’ is ‘an anthology of songs, stories and people. Musically and lyrically it is most inspired thing I’ve done”

With his unmistakable voice, literary lyricism, and uncompromising honesty, David Keenan once again proves why he’s one of Ireland’s most compelling modern troubadours.

Guy Davis is a two-time, back-to-back Grammy nominee for Best Traditional Blues, a musician, actor, author, and songwriter. Guy uses a blend of Roots, Blues, Folk, Rock, Rap, Spoken Word, and World Music to comment on, and address the frustrations of social injustice, touching on historical events, and common life struggles.

His background in theatre is pronounced through the lyrical storytelling of songs “God’s Gonna Make Things Over” about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, “Welcome to My World”, and “Got Your Letter In My Pocket”.

His storytelling is sometimes painful, deep, and real, an earthy contrast to modern-day commercial music, meant to create thought, underlined by gentle tones from his guitar or banjo fingerpicking.

He recently added Broadway Composer to his CV by writing the incidental music for the recent Tony nominated revival of his father, Ossie Davis’ play, “Purlie Victorious”. Guy won “Keeping The Blues Alive” Award, and was nominated by The Blues Foundation for Best Song of the Year, Best Acoustic Album of the Year, Best Acoustic Artist of the Year, and Best Instrumentalist. In fact, he’s been nominated nearly two dozen times by the Blues Foundation.

Among hundreds of newspaper appearances, he’s also been featured in articles or reviews by New York Times, Village Voice, Boston Globe, Pulse Magazine, Blues Magazine, Acoustic Guitar, Dirty Linen, Songlines, Blues Blast Magazine, Living Blues, Down At the Crossroads, The San Francisco Chronicle, Playboy Magazine, National Public Radio (NPR), “Folk Alley”, and several Sirius channels.

When asked about his experience as a performer, Guy has replied, “There is no tale so tall that I cannot tell it, nor song so sweet that I cannot sing it’

The project of Glaswegian twin siblings Rachael and Paul Swinton, Cloth transforms dream pop, post-rock, and indie into hauntingly sparse songs.

The eloquent interplay between the duo’s hushed vocals and minimalist guitars — and the space around them — on 2019’s Cloth led to radio support in the U.K., but the Swintons’ music continued to evolve.

Their first release for Rock Action, 2022’s Low Sun EP, boasted a fuller but still subtle sound that bloomed on the following year’s Secret Measure and 2025’s Pink Silence, both of which reflected the growing drama and complexity, as well as the intimacy, of Cloth’s music.
