Saxophonist Matt Keegan regularly performs throughout Australia and around the world. He appears on over 50 albums as a recording artist, is a featured soloist for many well-known groups both past and present and has performed at music festivals across the globe.
Matt Keegan’s search for new sounds first drew him to India in 2009 and the start of a music collaboration with West Bengali musicians resulting in a new group The Three Seas in New Delhi, India and an international cross-cultural collaboration.
In 2011, Keegan won the prestigious MCA Freedman Fellowship for jazz and has subsequently produced a recording with his new group The Three Seas in New Delhi, India and began making touring plans.
The Three Seas Band group is a combination of traditional Baul music, originally performed by the mystics from West Bengal and Bangladesh, together with Jazz, Rock and western production aesthetics.
