A native Vermonter, Keegan has been writing and performing songs since the age of 12.

In his teens, he performed in bars and clubs across Vermont, fronting the power pop group, Stag Line. The group’s single, “I’m Much Better”, was in regular rotation on local rock radio.

For five years, he cut his teeth in the Boston music scene, leading the eclectic rock outfit, Red Mill. The group released two EPs, two LPs, and a handful of singles, while giving high-energy performances around New England. Keegan graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2018.

In 2019, he began crafting a new sound for himself, rooted in his love of alternative country, power pop, and roots music. Recorded during a mid-pandemic visit to Nashville, Tennessee, he released his first single, "Way Back In" in 2021. He released an EP, Private Time, in July of 2022.

His debut solo album, Brand New Dance, offers a distinctive blend of folk, country, and rock styles, led by his sharp-tongued lyrics and memorable melodies. Recorded primarily in Philadelphia with engineer Jeff Zeigler (The War On Drugs, Kurt Vile), the album was released in December 2024.

Throughout 2024 & 2025, Keegan performed live around Boston and New England with Alex Formento (pedal steel) and Joe Everett (upright bass) of bluegrass band, Pretty Saro.

While growing a loyal grassroots audience with catchy tunes and memorable lyrics, Keegan is excited to continue to explore Americana musical styles, with an album on the way capturing the trio’s live energy.
