Biography

John Keogh and Julien Colarossi met in 2008 when they were both studying the degree in jazz performance and composition at Newpark Music Centre (Dublin, Ireland).

They both pursued projects upon graduating in 2010 and having being firm friends and admirers of each other's talents they eventually formed a guitar duo in early 2014. It began relatively simply in a restaurant called Eden on St William Street (Dublin) as they were booked regularly on a Saturday night and had to hastily prepare two varied and engaging 50 minute sets.

Julien is a highly versatile and what is known as a 'dyed in the wool jazzer' and brings a lyrical quality to his guitar playing from his roots deep in the mountains of beautiful "Val Di Comino" in Italy.

John has studied Spanish and Latin American classical guitar and has a longstanding love of pop music and movie soundtracks and together they fuse their influences in a highly intricate yet accessible act. They've spent two and a half years honing their craft together and the results are clear to see and hear on their debut recording 'Street Life'.
