Dave Kearney
Dave Kearney
Dave Kearney's songs are powerful because he has actually lived them. His heartfelt performances elicit nods of recognition, tears, and a line of people telling him which song moved them the most. Sure he has had influences. But that is not enough. Obviously he has studied his craft well. But it is the crucible of his life experiences that makes Kearney a commanding artist.

Ten Questions
Do you remember when you first saw yourself as an artist?
As a teenager when I finally wrote songs good enough that the band I was working with wanted to play them.
Do you have anything you feel compelled now to say about your art?
Yes, I'm 71 yrs. old and I still have a lot of work to do.
Is there an artist that keeps coming back to you for inspiration?
I often have young artists ask me questions about the art form of songwriting. When I need to ground myself with this work I go to the well (HankWilliams sr,, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt and Dylan Thomas ).
Do you feel you have support from colleagues?
I have the support and encouragement of some stupendously talented artists that I love and admire.
Do you feel removed from the conventional world?
No, I live in the conventional world. From there I make observations of the Human Condition and write songs about what I see and experience.
What is it like to wake up everyday for you?
A welcome surprise . I'm grateful to be alive.
What role do you see your art having in society?
In the best of my intentions my songs would become a friend to the heart and soul of the people who hear them.
Do you get high from creating?
I don't get high from anything, but my sense of gratitude deepens when I create.
What are you not being asked that you’d like to share?
I'm writing new songs and hope to record in the not too distant future.
When are you most happy?
Happiness is a fleeting thing like a Shooting Star...
