Woke is Steven Keene’s Album Out Now
Already from the first notes it is evident that we are dealing with an artist with a great compositional experience behind him.
The melodic and dynamic construction of these songs is impeccable. The choice of arrangements is refined and the resulting sound product is solid and mature.
A compositional style that winks at the legendary rock and blues of the 70s.
Steven Keene is a great songwriter, the lyrics are intense and the guitar riffs and arpeggios are touching and energetic at the same time.
The sounds are real, the guitar screams with pleasure and Steven Keene’s vocal timbre is deep and fascinating and manages to speak directly to the heart and soul of the listener.
In his tunes, I heard Bob Dylan but also Pink Floyd without disdaining country vibes. A truly intriguing sound blend that I recommend everyone to go and listen to.
Woke is a magnificent album, you need to listen to it several times in order to appreciate all its nuances.
Woke is Steven Keene’s Album Out Now!
Intense and Mature!

Born in Brooklyn New York, Steven Keene began his career by playing Folk Clubs and cafes in Greenwich Village in the early 90’s. He crisscrossed the streets of McDougal and Bleecker playing open mikes, hootenanny’s and small clubs.
In 1990 Steven released his first album, “Keene On Dylan” with Bob Dylan band members Howie Wyeth and Rob Stoner (Desire/Rolling Thunder) – an eclectic mix of originals, covers and traditionals.
Steven released his second album, “No Alternative”, on Moo Records in 1995 featuring Bob Dylan band members Tony Garnier, John Jackson and Bucky Baxter. He also played a tune on this album, “Only Homeless” with Danny Kalb, legendary musician from the 60’s Village scene. “No Alternative” was distributed through BMG in Europe and a video soon followed for the single, “Far Better Friend than Lover” which appeared on MTV Europe. Steven toured Europe backed by BMG’s press and promotion.
In 2001 Steven released “Set Clock” on Moo Records which received praise in the local New York press. He was featured on Vin Scelsa’s “Idiot’s Delight” and toured as well to promote the album.
With the advent of war, Steven wrote a protest song entitled, “How Much Blood’s In A Barrel”. The song received extensive airplay in the US and was picked up and released by ZYX Music in Europe.
Steven finished his new album entitled Woke and released 3 singles from the album. Woke is out now!
