Local singer songwriter David Keenan has been revealed as the composer for upcoming crime drama Salvable. Salvable is an upcoming British boxing crime drama film directed by Bjorn Franklin and Johnny Marchetta, written by Franklin and starring Shia LaBeouf.
The Knockbridge man has enjoyed a stellar rise since he broke through after going viral singing one of his songs (El Paso) in the back of Maxi’s Taxi in Dundalk. He has released two critically acclaimed albums to date and has garnered a reputation as a uniquely poetic singer-songwriter/storyteller and relentless live performer over the last number of years.
This week the 31 year old excitedly announced on social media that he is the main composer of the soundtrack to ‘Salvable’.
“I’ve been sitting on this news for a while but can now excitedly announce my role as Main Composer on upcoming boxing / crime drama ‘Salvable’ starring Toby Kebbell & Shia LaBeouf out in the US via @lionsgate on May 2nd.
“This opportunity came about when writer / directors @bjornfranklin & @jmarchettafilm reached out after hearing a particular song of mine called God is a Magpie.
“When I read the script ideas started to pour out and the result is a soundtrack that maps the film and the characters journeys from beginning to end.
“Heartfelt thanks to Bjorn & Johnny,
@lowkeyfilms & The music team : @paulgerardcampbellmusic @petebaldwin_ @blackmountainstudios @marc_carolan who helped me achieve this goal.
“Excited to see where the Salvable adventure goes next and to continue to compose for screen as a new creative outlet,” stated David.
