Dave Kearney's songs are powerful because he has lived them. His heartfelt performances elicit nods of recognition, tears, and a line of people telling him which song moved them the most. Sure he has had influences. But that is not enough. He has studied his craft well. But it is the crucible of his life experiences that makes Kearney a commanding artist.
