Keith Egan is 19-year-old singer/songwriter/recording artist from the Jersey Shore who began singing and playing guitar at the age of 7, with songwriting following shortly thereafter. Keith's musical influences range from Ed Sheeran and James Bay to the classic Jersey rock of Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen. He is also a huge fan of hip hop and artists such as Logic.
In August 2016, Keith released his debut EP entitled Come Along. The title song, "Come Along," was released as a single in the form of a music video in June 2016.
In June 2017, Keith released his second project and first eight-song record, The Best Is Yet To Come. An infectious mixture of pop-rock, blues, and soul, with a hint of folk and more, the album is alternating-ly poignant, fun, introspective, and heartfelt, with a relatable narrative that is sure to be enjoyed by anyone who's ever loved and lost but kept forging ahead. "I wrote a lot of the album during a change of scenery in my life, moving out and into college. The whole album embodies the idea of having a positive attitude in all situations [...] all of it roots from the title, The Best Is Yet To Come, which I attempted to live by more when I began working on this project," says Keith. The Best is Yet to Come includes a pop song, power ballad, acoustic ballad, and upbeat pop/dance single entitled "Can't Stop" and is available on iTunes, Spotify, and more.
You can catch Keith performing live, either accompanied by a band or solo with his guitar, using a loop pedal to mimic the full band sound.
"I am looking forward to spreading my music around the Jersey Shore with more shows and also working on more projects in the future," says Keith. To view Keith's upcoming show schedule, visit his website and social media pages below.
