Mina Keohane, composer

Mina grew-up on the beaches of Ft. Walton Beach, Florida and traded in the sunshine to study jazz composition at the Berklee School of Music. Upon graduation she met and befriended many Hoosier musicians while playing at a resort gig in (of all places) New England. She recorded an album in Bloomington, Indiana with some of Indy’s finest and nicest jazz musicians and ended up becoming a Hoosier, herself. Shortly after arriving in Indy she was named one of Nuvo’s “30 under 30 rising stars” in Indianapolis, played Indy Jazz Fest, and landed a cover in Intake Magazine. She worked as the Studio Manager for ripple:FX recording studio and has now made a home here at Earshot Audiopost. She can be seen around town playing keys with Brandon Whyde, Blackberry Jam, Freddie T & the People, Sarah Grain, the Dopacetics, and her own band the Wondrous Flying Machine.
