"Real good guitar ... worth looking out for and fantastic live!"
Blues In Britain Magazine
"Fine song-writing skills and guitar work strong enough to accommodate the various different styles of his songs."
Blueprint Magazine
"Traditional delta blues, English folk, a bit of jazz, and elements of the kind of soul that influenced the eclectic talents of Jimi Hendrix and Van Morrison."
Fidèle a la musique depuis la première heure, Mark Keen est un auteur, compositeur, interprète, exceptionnel, un guitariste hors pair à la voix suave et sensuelle.
Malgré ses origines espagnoles et irlandaises imprégnées de tradition musicale, il est au départ fasciné par la poésie et ne vient que tardivement à la musique.
Il se met finalement à la guitare parce que, « je passais par hasard devant un magasin qui vendait des guitares et j'avais assez d'argent sur moi pour en acheter une – ça aurait tout aussi bien pu être une jardinerie et j'aurais peut-être acheté une pelle. »
Ses influences diverses sont représentées dans le large éventail de styles de ses chansons, du blues traditionnel au folk en passant par le jazz swing et même l'univers psychédélique.
Faithful to the music from outset, Mark Keen is a singer, songwriter, performer and exceptionally outstanding guitarist with a sweet and sensual voice.
Despite his Spanish origins and steeped in Irish musical tradition, he was initially fascinated by poetry and only came very late to the music.
He finally came to the guitar because, "I passed by chance in front of a store that sells guitars and I had enough money on me to buy one - it could have been a garden shop and I might have bought a shovel. "
His diverse influences are represented in the wide range of styles of songs, from blues to traditional folk through jazz, swing and even the psychedelic universe.
