Billy Keane & the Waking Dream
Location: 181 State St, Portland, Maine 04101, US
7:00 pm - 11:00 pm

Billy Keane is a wanderer, a taker of the scenic route. From college dropout to world traveler to touring musician, Billy’s path is a winding one, and one which he has seen and experienced through the eyes of a singer/songwriter of a unique kind and has been featured in No Depression, The Boot and American Songwriter. Gaining notoriety as the co-founder of the Berkshire based collaborative The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow, Billy Keane’s sound is a blending of neo folk/americana with indie rock and country. It is inspired by his life, listening and his belief that to be human means to experience the universe and our world, its people and to reflect all that back upon itself through artistic expression. He can be found performing his resounding anthemic songs either as a solo act with an acoustic guitar, or as a full band with The Waking Dream.
