JOE MCKENNA

Joe Mckenna is a 28 year old irsh singer/songwriter original from Belfast but now living in Dublin. Having began teaching himself music at 16 Joe gradually grew in ability and in the summer of 2000 set off for New york with his bag,notebook and guitar. While there Joe began his live career playing the cafes and bars of the east and greenwich village. No sooner had that beagn than Joe was signed up by a production company and paraded before major labels as the next big thing. But the demographic contstraints of the music business and Joe's inherent need to just write songs that where real caused a major split in the company and they parted ways. In the aftermath joe went about recording with friends and then took his journey back to Ireland, where after great success (Solas sessions singer/songwriter of 2004 award, runner up in the Drogheda song contest) he independently released his debut E.P with major help from producer Declan Legge of Big Space Studios in his home town of Belfast. Joe's release was met with great response that included a headline at the Imagine Arts Festival of Waterford and a live session with BBC radio in Belfast aswell as numerous appearances on other Irish radio staions. Now in the process of putting together his album again with Big Space Joe has some very exciting work in the pipeline. So if you like songs that can sway from the dark to the cheesy with alot of soul keep in touch and enjoy the tracks on my space. One Love.
