Lilith Fair
Mega Concert venue conceived by Sarah McLachlan. Keineg played on some dates of Lilith Fair in 1997.
. She said: "I want to hang on to the joy of being an amateur. I don't want to be absorbed into the technocracy," she says. Keineg also strikes a unique chord with her lyrics. "Ole Conquistador" is a good example of her songwriting depth. But like many lyrical artists, she's hesitant to shine too much of a light on her own words. "The song is about conquest and the rest," she says. "Of another person, of nature. It's only in retrospect that you say: 'Oh that must be about that then.' In a way, explaining it takes away from it."

Luka Bloom, Zurich, review by Reto Koradi
An unspectacularly looking woman named Katell Keineg (Irish, like Luka) enters the stage. She just started singing, without a band, without even using her guitar. What a voice! I haven't heard such an acappella number since Janis Joplin's "Mercedes Benz". And, while she uses her guitar during the rest of the short set (which she pulls off well), her voice is absolutely outstanding. It can be soft or cry out, goes high and low, and can even imitate the whistle of a locomotive train. The style is not far from traditional Irish singer/songwriters, and the songs are excellent. I found out that her first album "O Seasons O Castles" got released recently and I can't wait to get it. Remember the name: Katell Keineg. And remember where you heard it first!
