Loading ...ENDA KEEGAN – Singer/Songwriter Bio
October 8th marked the latest of many performances of greater stature for singer-songwriter, Enda Keegan as he opened up for legendary Irish superstar Finbar Furey at Nevada Smith’s in the East Village. Says Keegan “It was such a great honor to open up for Finbar, who is such an incredible artist and a true lifetime idol and inspiration for me!”
The week prior Enda had shared the stage with Bagatelle, another favorite and equally legendary band. A true entrepreneur, Enda was the driving force behind this event, entitled the “Streets of New York Benefit Night.” This benefit event raised funds for the NYPD Widow’s & Children’s Fund and honored Liam Reilly & Bagatelle for their contribution to Irish music and culture.
Taking a quick look back, Enda Keegan grew up in the small village of Owning in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Enda’s love for music began on his tenth birthday when given his first guitar. By the age of sixteen, Enda was playing many local talent shows and performing with the Carrick on Suir Operatic Society. Enda left high school after being told that music would just be a hobby, and that he should pursue a career in woodworking. He began performing throughout the Irish countryside by night, while working ten-hour shifts in the cabbage fields by day. One evening, an American businessman and his wife watched Enda perform, and made him a life-altering proposal; they offered Enda a full scholarship to the Shenandoah Conservatory of Music in Virginia. This was an offer he could not refuse.
Enda pursued his education with great passion, making the most of this rare opportunity. After graduation, Enda continued to write and perform original music, until later joining the band Surrey Lane. Their single “Some Days” was a Top 100 hit on the AC charts. They were also featured on ABC Radio who gave notice to their 9/11 tribute song “Love Must Grow.”
Enda Keegan recently toured nationwide on the American Idol 2007-08 season, (Rock Your Style Stage) alongside Constantine Maroulis, performing for thousands of new fans. 
With his upcoming release, “The Bridge,” Enda has created a stellar record with endless crossover appeal. Recorded at Outloud Audio Studios in NYC, “The Bridge” has something for everyone, including the tender “New York City Morning” to the traditional upbeat pulse of “Banks of the Roses,” to the anthem, “One of These Days.”
Enda is an artist on a mission and on the rise, living out his childhood dreams and loving every minute of it!
