Kane Strang and Michael James Keane

In December of 2018, Michael James Keane released The Cascade, his debut solo album.

Following this he has performed a series of shows around Wellington including appearances at the Wellington Performance Arcade and Slow Note Festivals, supports for Steve Gunn and Jack Ladder, and a full band performance of the album on Valentines day.

With great pleasure we are pleased to announce that he will be bringing his full band to Auckland’s Wine Cellar on Sunday the 30th of June.

Keane's music is nothing short of evocative. Undertheradar.co.nz states, Keane's rich and mournful voice sits front and centre in the mix, emphasising the dark intimacy of his emotionally intense lyrics, set against instrumentation ranging from delicately subdued to powerfully dramatic.

Proceeding the Auckland event Michael will perform 2 intimate shows with a more stripped back lineup.

Support for the Auckland and Hamilton shows will come from i.e. crazy, the industrial-folk project of Claire Duncan/Maggie Magee (Dear Time's Waste).
