Mike Keane
mike keane has been playing music since he was 5 years old. the first instrument he learned to play was the Irish folk harp. mike played the harp for the next 10 years winning numerous awards and competitions.

in college mike picked up the acoustic guitar and began playing open mics and house parties. since then he has moved to Milwaukee and has wowed audiences with his heartfelt songs, clear vocals and consistent guitar playing. mike’s style has been described as “an acoustic/folkpop sound with a very subtle funky undertone in the rhythm with lyrics and licks that won’t leave your head for days...in a good way.” mike engages his audience with his quick whit, conversational style and sincere and humble attitude so it is no surprise that he keeps eager audiences entertained whether he is an opening performer or the headliner.

in 2005 mike asked his friend will carpenter to join him on stage. will brings along 16 years of alto sax experience. "16 years ago a class mate and I were arguing of who got the last sax spot. I was closer to the number behind the band director's back, so I got sax."
