An evening with Billy Keane

“I think that thing is the present moment, mixed with a dose of gratitude and a pinch of wonder,” he continues. “That thing can take many forms, and sometimes that form is a bunch of fresh flowers, sitting right in front of me on the table, beautiful and humble and entropic and fleeting.”
Now settled in Massachusetts, Keane gained notoriety touring with The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow prior to his solo project. The five-person collective of songwriters garnered acclaim for their live shows melding Americana, rock and folk music and touring along both coasts, earning slots at acclaimed festivals and receiving critical praise from Rolling Stone and Paste among others. Over the years, Keane has performed at venues and festivals around the US, in many formats, from Nateva in Maine, FreshGrass at Mass MoCA to SXSW in Austin. Among many other co-writes, Billy has been invited to participate in several residencies, including the Freshgrass festival’s Fresh Songs organization in partnership with the House Of Songs. He has shared stages with such notable names as James Taylor, Yo Yo Ma, The Gin Blossoms, Blues Traveler and many more.
