BIO
Marie Keane began gigging with a blues rock cover band at the age of 17. Having performed in nearly every reputable venue around Dublin for the last 7 years inlcuding The Sugar Club, The Gaiety, The Village, The RDS, The Bleu Note and Temple Bar Music Centre with various original and soul/funk cover bands - no one can doubt the experience and ability this vocalist has achieved in performance. During early 2006, Marie for the first time began vocal coaching, where her voice really began to fully blossom, under the tutelage of Honor Heffernan, Irelands leading Jazz vocalist. Marie formed a trio inlcuding Eoin Grace (trumpet) and Donal Sweeney (bass) during the summer of 2006. Eoin and Marie have worked together for the past two years in covers bands and decided in the early months of the summer of 2006 to launch this original project - something Marie has wanted for many years! She then contacted Donal when he was highly recommended to her and when all three met up for the first rehearsal, no one could over look the obvious fact that something really brilliant was waiting to unfold. The first step was taken when four original tracks written by Marie were recorded in her basement over September and October 2006 with Eoin (a qualified sound engineer) producing and mixing the EP. The trio worked closely together to arrange the tracks to their full potential and rehearsed a 45 minute set of Maries original songs during that time while putting together a full visual show set to perform. This is the initial stage of a well planned musical project. It is worth waiting for its development into a mutli-functional art. Music is an extension of life, allow it unfold in its natural way.
