HENRY EARNEST
Whelan’s Main Venue • Sat 10th Oct 2023
Softboy Records co-founder Kean Kavanagh has just announced his headline gig in Whelan’s on the 14th of October 2023. Kean will be joined by Dublin-based producer and songwriter Henry Earnest.
Co-founder, producer and A&R of Irish Label Soft Boy Records, and a story-teller with a strong imagination, Kean has set out his stall as both a singer-songwriter and world creator with the release of his acclaimed 2020 project ‘Dog Person’. Founded in 2015, Soft Boy Records morphed into a cultural behemoth that gripped the Irish music scene and never let go – alongside his co-founder Kojaque, Kean found himself sharing stages with names such as Slowthai and Lana Del Ray, as well as his consequential solo-slots opening for Maverick Sabre and Vampire Weekend, as well as starring in a Boiler Room documentary about the label and collective.
In 2020, Kean appeared on the Everything is Recorded project “FRIDAY FOREVER”, (curated by Richard Russell of XL Recordings) alongside Aitch, Flohio, Maria Somerville, Ghostface Killah and others, and aligning himself with a tastemaker and hotly tipped selection of musical peers. Currently settled in London, Kean’s career is set to project far beyond his Irish roots.
Today, Kean Kavanagh is back with more news, this time sharing another blistering new track ‘Feel It Coming’, a triumphant psyche rock anthem to give us all a taste of indie euphoria to keep us high through this hot summer. This follows his recent single ‘Mary’ a character led song set in rural Ireland, which dropped in May this year and leads to the announcement of his long awaited new EP ‘Wrestling Music’ which is set for release on July 28th via his own label ‘Soft Boy Records’.
