Bio
Kieran O'Connell originally from a little village in County Cork, Rep of Ireland. Immigrated to Australia in 1982 and landed in Melbourne a city known for it's ethnic diversity and culture.
Kieran joined an established band called "The Liberties" on guitar and vocals. His older brother Dan arrived soon after and the brothers decided to form their own group which was called "Highland Paddy" and had many years of great success in Melbourne and around Australia even doing a few stints in Singapore.
As a front man, Kieran is a born storyteller and entertainer.
His songs are tales of experiences, emotions and events, written in his inimitable style, frank, forthright and utterly engaging.
It’s little wonder he chose the name Shanakee for his band. In Gaelic, Shanakee is written Seanchaí and is the name given to a storyteller or a bearer of old lore; someone who keeps the stories and legends alive.
It’s an apt description for this Irish expat, a man who has wholeheartedly embraced his adopted land through his life, his story and his song, while still honouring the Celtic spirit that burns deep within.
