Keegan James Blood at The Buttonwood Tree

Middletown, CT: On Friday, March 24th at 8 PM, The Buttonwood Tree presents eclectic singer/songwriter Keenan James Blood. Admission is $15.

Keegan James Blood is an eclectic singer/songwriter from New England, blending folk-rock and sharp-tongued humor into a distinctive sonic style.

A native Vermonter, Keegan has been writing and performing songs since the age of 12. In his teens, he performed in bars and clubs across Vermont, fronting the power pop group, Stag Line. The group’s single, “I’m Much Better”, was in regular rotation on local rock radio.

For five years, he cut his teeth in the Boston music scene, leading the eclectic rock outfit, Red Mill. The group released two EPs, two LPs, and a handful of singles while giving high-energy performances around New England. Keegan graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2018.

In 2019, he began crafting a new sonic identity, rooted in his love of alternative country, power pop, and roots music. Recorded during a mid-pandemic visit to Nashville, Tennessee, he released his first single, "Way Back In" in 2021. He released a self-produced EP called Private Time in July of 2022. He is currently mixing a debut album, recorded primarily in Philadelphia with engineer Jeff Zeigler (The War on Drugs, Kurt Vile, Steve Gunn).
