Billy Keane

Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center

Composer and librettist Scott Eyerly brings a fresh approach to the Mahaiwe’s Met lectures. He combines his experience as a teacher at The Juilliard School with a wide range of creative accomplishments – from his comic opera My Life Online, premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe, to his musical comedy Pooch, produced in workshop at Seagle Music Festival. Eyerly’s lively talks are drawing novices and cognoscenti alike.

A self-described wanderer, Berkshires-based indie-folk singer-songwriter Billy Keane has cultivated more than his share of lived-in experience. Over the last two years as a solo artist, Keane has paved his way as one of the most exciting new acts in the indie-folk genre through extensive touring with his backing band The Waking Dream, adding an open-format and psychedelic footprint to Keane’s catalog, supporting acts such as Molly Tuttle & The Golden Highway, The Bones of J.R. Jones, The Gin Blossoms and Town Mountain, receiving regular play across Sirius XM’s The Spectrum and critical acclaim in American Songwriter, No Depression, Under The Radar and Relix Magazine.
