Search - Keith Harkin :: On Mercy Street

Keith Harkin is an Irish songwriter and guitar playing minstrel who has been singing his way into the hearts of music lovers since the age of four. His musical talents have brought him across the world from the UK to Canada to Australia and back, over and over again in his past eight years touring. During his time touring the States, he gained recognition from Grammy Award-winning Producer, David Foster, who then went on to sign Keith as one of his first artists to Verve Records. Keith released his debut solo album with Foster and Verve Records in 2012 receiving praise from both critics and fans alike.

For the past two years, Keith has been writing material for On Mercy Street, his highly anticipated second album. Recorded at Sphere Studios in London with long-time friends and talented Producers, Andy Wright and Gavin Goldberg, On Mercy Street finds Keith further developing his style, sound and vibe.

Keith s love for the classics (Don Henley, Glen Campbell, Tom Waits, Neil Young & Van Morrison - to name a few) are reflected in his collection of folk-infused, acoustic pop sounds. Combined with his honey-thick voice and a full live band, Keith takes you on a journey that creeps into his heart strings. While working on his solo career, Keith has continued to perform as a lead soloist in Celtic Thunder. In that role, Harkin has performed to vast audiences worldwide, written and recorded a number of his own songs for the show, and has been seen in the homes of millions of Americans via numerous PBS Specials
