Closing Night: Words on Canvas feat. David Keenan – New York, NY

Four years after the breakthrough success of his debut album Beginner’s Guide to Bravery, Dundalk songwriter, musician, and composer, David Keenan, is at a crossroads. After touring extensively and building a reputation as one of Ireland’s leading live performers, he returns to the studio to record new music. “Anger is easy to portray, it’s the hurt that’s hard”, he says, as we explore David’s wordsmithing over the course of 500 days. This is a portrait of one artist as a young man, which in turn is a portrait of every musical artist as they endeavor to stand out in a world of “algorithm and blues” and remain authentically and powerfully true to themselves.

Short film ‘ADistance’ by Jake Quinn will screen before the feature.

The screening will be followed by a live performance with David Keenan live in the intimate setting of Village East by Angelika.

*Afterparty at The Factory 380 from 9pm where complimentary Powers Whiskey will be served!

*Each ticket includes access to the screening, Q&A and afterparty. Must be 21+ to attend the afterparty.
