Born in Massachusetts, Mark Kieran grew up in Colorado and Texas. As a young man he worked on ranches and later as a carpenter and house painter but one constant was his love for the arts and playing music. Over the years he has played in several bands and dabbled in song writing as well as becoming a successful painter and for a time owning a small art gallery.
In 2022 he wrote and recorded his self titled album releasing it in 2023. And immediately began work on his second album, “Zero Miles to Now-Here”
His music is generally described as Indy Rock or Roots Rock but is heavily influenced by many genres from old blues and country, to rock, experimental music and Indian music, exploring themes of everyday life, struggle, and resilience, love and loss and also reflects ideas from eastern philosophy derived from his interest in Buddhism and Hinduism and his longtime practice of meditation and yoga.
Mark Kieran currently resides in central Texas and is active with his band Mark Kieran and the Cosmic Western
