Welcome to the official web site of Grammy and multiple Emmy Award winning composer Brian Keane.
Multiple Emmy award winning composer, Grammy award winning producer, and noted guitarist Brian Keane has scored literally hundreds of films and television shows, and produced over 150 albums, mostly from his studio in the woods of Connecticut. His music has been hailed critically as "indelible and breathtaking" by the Los Angeles Times, "piercingly beautiful" by The New York Times and "masterful" by Newsweek, and he has been called a "musician's musician" by Downbeat, a "composer's composer" by The Hollywood Reporter, and “one of the most impressive musicians of the decade” by the editor of Billboard magazine.
Among Brian’s many enduring credits are “New York” the epic, multiple Emmy winning Burns documentary series that is among the biggest selling documentaries of all time, “Long Journey Home” which won a Grammy for it’s soundtrack in collaboration with The Chieftains, Van Morrison, Elvis Costello, Sinead O’Connor, and others, the classic “Winter’s Solstice” record series for Windham Hill which he produced, and his ground breaking ethnic recordings with middle eastern musician Omar Faruk Tekbilek, Irish musician Joanie Madden, and many others.
Brian Keane Music continues to update its music library, which is leased by various networks. Jeremy Bahr was hired as a technical specialist to work on updates. Meanwhile, Brian has been scoring a 7-hour television series for multiple award-winning director Fritz Mitchell and the ESPN network on the history of SEC basketball called "Southern Hoops", which began broadcasting Monday nights on January 30th, 2023, and will continue airing new episodes weekly (as well as periodic rebroadcasts) until March Madness.
The George Barrett record project, which includes top musicicans such as Cyrus Chestnut, Eddie Gomez, Shawn Pelton, and others, is due to be released in March of 2023. Brian's wild "Bebop Headbangers From Outer Space" record, which includes performances from top jazz artists, should be released later this spring as well.
Brian intends to return to creating orginal music later this year...
