Details:
Gracious, earthy and talented, Susan McKeown has something very unique. She possesses - or is possessed by - an extraordinary voice. Instantly recognisable, this dynamic musician recalls the singing of Sandy Denny and Chrissie Hynde, and her chilling dramatic delivery brings to mind Grace Slick. Recognized as one of the most adventurous female vocalists in America today, Susan''s heartfelt vocals and magical music have begun to influence a large number of soulful musicians and spirited listeners.

Labeling Susan''s music has proven quite a challenge, and is a frequently touched-upon subject during interviews. Her songs and music are original; the sound is acoustic-rock, blending progressive, jazz and Celtic influences. Formerly mis-tagged as solely a Celtic artist, audiences now recognize Susan as a performer with the unique ability to cross genres and defy categorization.


"Equal parts folk-flavored songwriter and alternative rock chanteuse, her debut album Bones is arrestingly original"
Boston Globe

"McKeown comes on like a force of nature: she''s a deep, spirit-hungry songwriter with a wealth of her own very strong spells. . . There''s a stateliness in McKeown''s delivery suggesting she is in secret midnight communion with the long-departed spirit of Sandy Denny. Her album Bones is one of the best releases of the year."
Rhythm Music Magazine

"Bones makes a strong musical statement."
Time Out New York

"Original progressive acoustic rock songs with a decided and intentional feminist sensibility...Gorgeous...Highly recommended! "
Ladyslipper

"This powerful alto''s intimate folk-rock songs, entwined with Irish instrumentation, have an earthy potentcy."
New York Daily News

"Where has this woman been hiding! . . Bones is the most refreshing, exhilerating, all around amazing contemporary Irish album we''ve yet encountered."
The Boston Irish Reporter

"Much of McKeown''s sound comes off as equal parts rave and Irish Beat poet."
Sing Out!

"A superb debut album - a collection of highly personal and compelling songs."
Hot Press, Ireland

"Could well become one of the essential progressive Irish folk albums."
Irish America Magazine
