He started singing at fleadhs at the age of seven, then took a first prize in the Connaught Fleadh for singing in English. Then Seán went on to win no fewer than 13 All Ireland medals in succession. Reel Union comprised Sean, his sister Dolores, accordionist Mairtin O'Connor and Johnny Faulkner. Then with Johnny Ringo McDonagh, Sharon Shannon, Cathal Hayden and Frances Black, Seán was a founder of the traditional group Arcady.
He was voted Performer of the Year by readers of Irish Music Magazine in 97/98 and 98/99, and called "the greatest Irish musical find of the `90's" (London Independent), and "the fastest rising star of the Irish music scene" (Irish Times). His musical voice is unique and his songs encompass a mixture of traditional Irish folk music, pop, blues, and country.
Seán Keane has released seven solo albums and collaborated on five others. Songs like ‘There were Roses’ ‘Home away from Home’ ‘Bundlin’ are just some of Seán’s repetoire which have become part of everybodys listening pleasure.
