James Keegan Shares Infectious new Single 'Feeling Grey (Teaching Our Teachers)'

Cork singer-songwriter James Keegan announces the upcoming debut EP Teaching Our Teachers and shares the radiant new single ‘Feeling Grey (Teaching Our Teachers)’.

At 21 years-old and with 4 iTunes number 1s to his name already, Keegan has toured the world, playing in 10 different countries since January 2025 on tour with frontman of Queensryce, Geoff Tate.

Feeling Grey’ delivers a dynamic fusion of energetic indie instrumentation, pop melodies and subtle folk influences. Recorded with Christian Best at Monique Recording Studios, the track brings a bold blend of driving guitar work over big drums, warming bass under Keegan’s emotive, melodic, and irresistibly catchy lead vocals. Providing a strong and guising central hook, the track lyrically disects coming of age before bursting into an infectious chorus.

Speaking about the track, James explains: “Feeling grey is about me growing up and reflecting on my youth as I grew to the mature age of 19! I recorded the album in Monique Recording Studios in Cork with producer Christian Best. We worked on most of the tracks ourselves and later got musicians in to share the work load. It was definitely different from my previous time in the studio, I felt more comfortable and willing to actually make things sound different to what I’m used to.”

Featuring the band of fellow Irish artist Mick Flannery (Oh Boy Records / John Prine’s Record Label), the full upcoming EP Teaching Our Teachers EP brings atmospheric Ben Howard-esque folk blended with infectious indie-pop tendencies.
