Three-time Grammy Award winner
When asked about what drove him to craft his deeply evocative new album, Ghosts of West Virginia, Steve Earle says that he was interested in exploring a new approach to his songwriting. “I’ve already made the preaching-to-the-choir album,” he says, specifically alluding to his 2004 album, The Revolution Starts Now. As anyone as politically attuned as Earle understands, there are times when the faithful need music that will raise their spirits and toughen their resolve. But he came to believe that our times might also benefit from something that addresses a different audience, songs
written from a point of view that he is particularly capable of rendering.

With seven #1 Billboard World
With seven #1 Billboard World Music Chart Albums, over 250 million streams on all platforms, over half a million albums sold and a dedicated, loyal fan base that boasts nearly one million social media followers, this multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance. After two decades and over 2000 shows, it is a true force to be reckoned with. The band attributes their continued success to their fanatic audience, and it’s a well-diversified crowd. The country-music folks adore the storytelling, the bluegrass-heads love the instrumentals, Celtic fans love their devotion to tradition, and the rockers truly appreciate their passion.

Al Stewart with The
Probably best known for his hits ‘Year of the Cat” from the Platinum album of the same name and the Platinum follow up album “Time Passages.” Al Stewart came to stardom as part of the legendary British folk revival in the sixties and seventies and developed the combination of folk-rock songs with delicately woven tales of the great characters and events from history. His career spans four decades as a key figure in British music. He played at the first ever Glastonbury Festival in 1970, worked with Yoko Ono pre-Lennon and shared a London apartment with a young Paul Simon. Al continues to tour extensively around the U.S. and Europe and has 19 studio albums between “Bedsitter Images” in 1967 and “Sparks of Ancient Light” in 2008, plus the live album “Uncorked” with Dave Nachmanoff in 2009.

To say that The High Kings are
To say that The High Kings are charting a new course for Irish ballad music – equal parts rousing and reflective, energetic and insightful – is an understatement. They are leading a new and bright era for Irish folk music, and aiming to bring us along for the journey. The integral members of The High Kings have a wealth of history behind them, while also being immediate family of iconic artists The Clancy Brothers, Sean Dunphy and some members toured extensively with the acclaimed Three Irish Tenors and Riverdance.
The band has marked its tenth anniversary with a very special compilation celebrating a decade of outstanding songs and performances. The November 2017 release of Decade-Best of the High Kings was received with rave reviews and record sales figures with the band again topping the Irish Album Charts and returning to the Billboard World Music Charts once again.

Celebrate Big Daddy's
Comedian Joe Conklin has been a constant in Philadelphia radio for more than 20 years, with his spot-on impressions of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Cole Hamels, Allen Iverson, Charles Barkley, Harry Kalas, Bobby Clarke and so many others. Fearless and hilarious, he skewers some of the country’s top politicians, pro athletes, sports executives and film stars – sometimes to their faces! Big Daddy has performed more than 4,000 comedy shows over the past 20 years, along with hosting his popular overnight radio show on WIP. Originally starting out as a musical comedian, opening for rock shows like the Hooters in the 80s, Big Daddy now focuses observational comedy with stories about his life and living in Philadelphia. We’re thrilled to welcome this pair of Philadelphia comedy icons back to the Colonial.

“If you like guitar playing,
“If you like guitar playing, it simply doesn’t get any better than Tommy.” – Jason Isbell
Tommy Emmanuel has achieved enough musical milestones to satisfy several lifetimes. Or at least they would if he was the kind of artist who was ever satisfied. At the age of six, he was touring regional Australia with his family band. By 30, he was a rock n’roll lead guitarist burning upstadiums in Europe. At 44, he became one of five people ever named a Certified Guitar Player by his idol, music icon Chet Atkins.Today,he plays hundreds of sold-out shows every year from Nashville to Sydney to London. All the while, Tommy has hungered for what’s next. When you’re widely acknowledged as the international master of the solo acoustic guitar, what’s next is Accomplice One, an album of collaborations with some of the finest singers, songwriters and, yes, guitarists alive today–a list including Jason Isbell, Mark Knopfler, Rodney Crowell, Jerry Douglas, Amanda Shires, Ricky Skaggs, J.D. Simo, David Grisman, Bryan Sutton, Suzy Bogguss and many more.
We’re excited to welcome Tommy back to the Keswick.!!

DAVID WILCOX More than
More than three decades into his career, singer/songwriter David Wilcox continues to push himself, just as he always has. Wilcox, by so many measures, is a quintessential folk singer, telling stories full of heart, humor, and hope, substance, searching, and style. His innate sense of adventure and authenticity is why critics and colleagues, alike, have always praised not just his artistry, but his humanity, as well.

Francis Dunnery
After spending much of his life as a British Rock Star, being chosen to lend his guitar playing skills for such respected artists as Robert Plant, Santana, Yes, Lauren Hill, John Mellencamp, Ian Brown and Steve Hackett, Dunnery hit the middle of life with a bang and was forced inward. He has spent the past twenty-five years not only pursuing his incomparable music career but also studying, philosophy, psychology and astrology
The Francis Dunnery concert experience is a complete one-off show that will have you laughing, crying, thinking and knowing all at the same time. Dunnery’s style can be brash and down to earth yet he’s capable of singing achingly, beautiful music that penetrates the soul.
Many have said Dunnery’s concerts are life changing and unlike anything they have experienced before.

Tommy Conwell broke onto the
Tommy Conwell broke onto the Philadelphia music scene in 1984 when he and his band Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers played JC Dobbs at 3rd and South. The band had a #1 US mainstream rock hit in 1988 with “I’m Not Your Man.” The band, consisting of Tommy Conwell (guitar, vocals), Chris Day (rhythm guitar) Paul Slivka (stand up bass), Rob Miller (keyboards) and Jimmy Hannum (drums), was known for its raw, high energy live performances. Conwell quickly rose to the top of the Philly rock and roll food chain by providing long, sweaty, funny, bluesy and often transcendent shows that audiences ate up as something different from what they were being offered elsewhere. Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers made the hugely popular independent album Walking on the Water, and two albums for Columbia Records, Rumble and Guitar Trouble. The band was featured in Rolling Stone magazine, performed live on The American Music Awards, Late Night with David Letterman, and the Arsenio Hall Show.

Seamus Egan Project Seamus Egan
Seamus Egan has never been one to stand still artistically. In fact, it’s fair to say he’s been at the center of the new Irish music scene in America for over twenty years, at the head of the supergroup Solas.
Now with Solas on hiatus, he releases Early Bright, his first solo album since the much lauded release of When Juniper Sleeps. Set for release in early 2020, on Early Bright we once again see him shining as an instrumentalist, playing tenor banjo, nylon string guitar, low whistles, mandolin, keyboard, and percussion. From the first, delicate opening notes, through to the melancholic yet hopeful, closing track, Early Bright showcases the virtuosity Egan has become renowned for, while also focusing on his stunning original compositions. He has written music borne of childhood memories, of ruminations on our need to connect and our need to be heard. It is music borne of change and new beginnings.
Touring as The Seamus Egan Project, the band includes guitarist Kyle Sanna, NewEngland bouzouki and harmonium player Owen Marshall.

“This Filthy World” is Waters’s
“This Filthy World” is Waters’s rapid-fire one-man spoken word “vaudeville” act that celebrates the film career and joyously appalling taste of the man William Burroughs once called “The Pope of Trash”. Updated and expanded from the original film version that enjoyed critical success at the Edinburgh, Toronto and Berlin Film Festivals, the live performance of “This Filthy World” focuses on Waters’s early negative artistic influences, his fascination with true crime, exploitation films, fashion lunacy, the extremes of the art world, Catholicism, sexual deviancy and a love of reading.
