ABOUT
Country/Folk inspired singer-songwriter Joe Keegan draws on influences including Rascal Flatts, Kodaline and Brothers Osborne. Born in Bolton into a large musical family, his journey into music began not with a guitar, but with Irish dancing. Captivated by Lord of the Dance at just three years old, Joe began training at six and rose to become North West Regional Champion, 5th in Great Britain, and 13th in the world by the age of sixteen. His Irish heritage remains a proud and defining influence on his songwriting, shaping both the melody and the heartfelt, down-to-earth storytelling at the heart of his music.
That same year, he appeared on The Voice UK on BBC ONE which kickstarted his career. Since then Joe has taken to stages across the world, with performances spanning Africa, India, the US, Continental Europe, Scandinavia, and the UK & Ireland.
Following a successful tour with Se7en Productions through the UK, Norway & Sweden, Joe is now refocussing and channelling everything he's learned in the past decade of songwriting, with 10 singles lined up for release between now and the end of 2027. He has headlined original shows at Band on the Wall and The Deaf Institute, supported Canadian band Current Swell on their UK tour, and returned to perform at Craic by the Creek Festival this year.
