Kean Kavanagh shares new song ‘Summer Nights’ and Dublin gig

Soft Boy Records’ Kean Kavanagh has released a new single today called ‘Summer Nights’, just in time for the Autumn, along with an announcement of two gigs in Dublin and London.

It’s a lovely wash of a track, a bit smudgy and hazy and melodic all in all, and Kavanagh’s first followup to his Dog Person album.

“I wrote this song about a recurring dream I was having the past year, and it was kind of disturbing me so I wrote and recorded the song to try and change the way that I associate with it.”

“I wrote and recorded most of the instruments myself and then I got Ryan Hargadon in at the end to record some additional synths and some sax to finish it off.”

Gigs wise:

Kean is playing Whelan’s Dublin on December 19th. Tickets €14.35 plus fees on sale Friday October 1st at 10am from Ticketmaster.ie.

A London date is announced today – details to follow.
