Lucinda Williams. John Prine. Bob Dylan. Allison Krauss. Willie Nelson. Johnny Cash. Bonnie Raitt. Emmylou Harris. Patty Griffin. This is a short list of the musicians Annie Keating has been compared to over the last twenty years. Keating writes and sings like a woman who knows deep down that heartache is the price of hope, and she can make us believe -- in that way that only the best artists can -- that all of it is worth the cost.

Talent spotted by BBC Radio’s Bob Harris, she has performed at leading festivals -Take Root(Netherlands), Glasgow Americana Festival, Maverick(UK), Buscadero (Italy), NXNE and The Brooklyn Americana Fest. Sharing the bill with the likes of John Hiatt and Bon Iver, Keating has toured internationally in a dozen countries and now releases a fifteen song tour de force - an epic pandemic story of awakening and inspiration that shows this veteran artist at the peak of her powers.
