In just 12 months, Irish band Keywest have grown from 25,000 to over 230,000 Instagram followers, a testament to their powerful live performances, genuine connection with fans, and word-of-mouth buzz across Europe and beyond.
But for all the numbers, Keywest's story is still rooted where it began on the street. This five-piece band built their reputation as full-time buskers, performing on city corners day after day, forging a deep, loyal fanbase the old-fashioned way.
And while they’ve gone on to achieve multiple No.1 albums and singles, millions of streams, and radio airplay across Ireland, the UK, and Europe, they still regularly return to the streets, not only for promotion, but because it’s part of who they are.
Fully independent once again, Keywest are hitting a new stride. Their most recent sold-out tour across Ireland, the UK, and mainland Europe proved that the same authenticity that draws a crowd on the street can just as easily fill venues across the continent.
Keywest were awesome! One of the best bands I have seen live. All of the band members are outstanding musicians and the lead singer Andy Kavanagh has an amazing vocal range!A good mix of sone old tracks ans new ones off their new forthcoming album "True North"
They bounce off the audience and have great banter inbetween songs! Absolutely rocked the stage and when the whole audience are singing all the words of their song "heartbreak" back to the band... was just magical! Absolutely LOVE them & highly recommend.
