WHAT IT IS: Billy Keane, a Berkshires-based psychedelic/indie-folk artist, is gaining momentum in the Northeast with sold-out headline shows and supporting slots for Molly Tuttle and The Bones of J.R. Jones. His recent release, “Returning to the Garden,” secured Apple Music editorial placements and iHeart Radio spins, while September’s “Oh, These Days” has been featured on Sirius XM’s The Spectrum and College radio. Keane has also co-written with Lori McKenna and Willi Carlile. Fans can expect an extensive 2024 tour and a series of singles from this rising star.
