About Marie Keane
The Music
Marie is a singer-songwriter with idealistic themes, heavily influenced by environmental protection and shifting societal paradigms. She cherishes the mundane, explores the profane and celebrates the individuation of existence.
This eclectic mix of folk blues rock is infused with subtle classical and traditional undertones. It leads the soul to move within the imagination.
Her voice is a piped piper to the poetry of her words. Although sometimes melancholy permeates the tone it can thrust the listener to a plain of optimism. Its’illustration serves to carry hope.
