Dublin songwriter and Skerries native Keith Burke has released three original albums. "The Dancer who Stole your Shoes" in 2004, "No One Wants to Move" in 2008 and “These Boys” in
2016. He has played concerts in (and been invited back to) Pittsburgh, USA, Cairo, Egypt and Beirut,Lebanon. Also, he has played televised concerts in Italy, had dates in the 2005 Guinness Cork Jazz festival and received the Hotpress "Pick of the fortnight".
His music has been played on national Irish radio on RTE 1, Radio Na Gaeltachta and NewsTalk, as well as many regional radio stations. He was selected as the late Tony Fenton’s “daily download”. A song of his was used for the credits on a TV show on Setanta Sports. The late great saxophonist John Earle plays on several of his recordings.
Burke has played support to Irish bands Bagatelle and Aslan and in Bavaria, Germany, touring band “Mac C&C Celtic Four” regularly close their energetic live shows with Keith’s song “Love and Romans”. Keith has written, arranged and with the help of producer Anthony Gibney, recorded his new album in Audioland Studios in Lexlip. Singles “I’ll begin this letter” and “Before you go” have been well received and played on national and regional radio stations in Ireland and the UK.
Hid latest release, "That's Where the Bees Loved to Go" has been named Track of the Week on David Dee Moore Radio Show. The track immediately brings the sense of nostalgia, a journey back in time. Burke's warm, soulful vocal is like a balm for the wound. Memories can be both joyful and painful yet here the joy prevails. There's a lovely choir near the end supporting Burke's lead. Formed of his friends, this only amplifies the message of connection hidden within the song.
"Passing by on his way
To the church every day
He greets a robin there marking his patch"
