Comprised of musicians deeply embedded in the Irish music scene, band members have played with bands such as Zaska, Loah, Laoise, Akora, Sive, CC Brez and many more.
Chief Keegan released their debut EP “Full Salmon” on November 18th on all platforms. They celebrated this release with a sold out gig on Dec 20th in Upstairs Whelans.
