About Sadhbh Keane
Ireland’s Hot Press Magazine has described Sadhbh as an artist who is already established as one of Ireland’s most promising songwriters. Tagged as Irish Times One to Watch in 2024, Sadhbh has a 12 original track back catalogue and earned acclaim from national and international music industry folk, fans and festival goers. Her 2023 debut EP Passion + Paper was celebrated for its lyrical depth and musical maturity, and her singles have consistently found support across RTE Radio 1, RTÉ 2FM, Bauer Media, BBC, and independent stations nationally and abroad. With echoes of Boygenius intimacy, the raw, propulsive energy of Fontaines D.C. mixed with Sam Fender indie energy and riffs, Sadhbh threads detailed storytelling with an indie-rock edge, drawing listeners into a visceral soundscape that swells with emotion.
Sadhbh is a songwriter with a fresh perspective that is uniquely hers. Blessed with a talented band and amazing producers, Anam presents her stories through an original sound and vocals that have depth, power, vulnerability and clarity.
Sadhbh’s debut EP in 2023 earned her Tony Clayton Lea’s One To Watch tag in 2024. Life gets complicated and each twist, peak, trough, heartbreak and milestone since then opened more experiences and perspectives. Anam’s seven tracks offer something different. An outstanding collection of songs and stories that Sadhbh has generously laid bare and wrapped into an eclectic variety of melodies and tempos. Effortlessly, Sadhbh flows from cryptic metaphors to unswervingly honest vulnerability.
Sadhbh’s band; Oisin, Jay and Claudia have immense talent, musicianship and beautiful personalities; all of which have contributed hugely to this EP. Sadhbh’s Executive producer Philip Magee was instrumental in bringing their sound and their ambitions to a new level. Ber Quinn as producer of Signals brings such impact with the song’s engulfing deep sonic texture that goes beyond the speakers.
