”Tremendous!” – Danny Baker, Radio 5 Live

“Keefe is immediately interesting to watch – a natural performer, both as a storytelling comedian and a musician” – Paul Richards

“Art in its purest form”– Johnny Vegas

So far the only man ever to navigate the entire 42 – mile length of the Lancaster Canal in a Pedalo, Sean Keefe hails from the North of England and fell into music through a simple manner of being unwilling to ever do anything else.

Taking his cue from the classic songwriters such as Springsteen, Willie Nelson and Ray Wylie Hubbard, he puts his own vision to use in twisting up genres and seeing what sticks. Driven by a love of melody – and most importantly, FEELING – Sean underpins fingerpicked guitar with lyrics and stories that share his unique insight into what’s before him.

Playing only in places that interest him, from opening for acts such as Evan Dando, Thunder, Martin Barre Of Jethro Tull, or Tyla’s Dogs D’amour, whether tearing through full on rock n roll onslaughts, Motorhead style, or delivering barely whispered acoustic protests, a Sean Keefe show is always a guarantee of satisfaction.

When not working on a new show, song, poem, or scribbling away in any one of several hundred notebooks, he’s usually to be found running his own bar, The Vinyl Tap in Preston, jamming the night away on the piano with anyone who’ll join him, or ripping up the fretboard of a Telecaster alongside The Hostages, his longtime cowpunk outfit.

“Militant hat wearer, slide guitarist, Strumstick player, comedy yarner and genre-mash novelist Sean Keefe – brings along his own version of honky-tonk Americana” – Dann Chinn, Misfit City
