David Keenan - Full Performance (Live on 2 Meter Sessions)

Описание: When Irish singer/songwriter David Keenan puts pen to paper, and then sets those words to music, the everyday becomes the extraordinary. In his music, past and present and future come together in a reverie of truth, poetry and fantasy. If you want your singer-songwriters to be relatable and blokey, David Keenan is not the man for you. If you want them to have the epic sweep of Van Morrison, the high notes of Tim Buckley, and the soul of Samuel Beckett, then he very much is. David Keenan makes music that floats, where his words – not plain-spoken, but wandering and questing – are woven into music that can be urgent or solemn or joyful as the song demands.

February 2020 saw the release of “A Beginner’s Guide To Bravery”, David Keenan’s critically acclaimed debut record. It took him just a week to record, at Hellfire Studio on the outskirts of Dublin. A week to record, perhaps, but there are lifetimes in it. In his songs he tells about his experiences, the changes he has undergone and the characters he has met.

David Keenan visited Dutch music show “2 Meter Sessies” on January 22, 2020. In studio 7 of the MCO in Hilversum he played 4 songs live (including a new one) and talked with host Jan Douwe Kroeske about the new record, songwriting and inspirations.

Setlist:
[00:00] Unholy Ghosts
[05:51] The Healing
[10:44] The Harlequin
[17:37] Origin of the World

About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.

Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).

The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.
