Morgan O’Kane plays banjo like no other. Originally hailing from Virginia; O’Kane currently resides in Brooklyn when he is not on tour, where he sometimes plays in the subway and on the street. Deeply steeped in old traditions, O’Kane treats the banjo differently than you’ve heard it before and brings a punk sensibility to his music.
‘Morgan O’Kane is a phenomenon… raw and intense… he revives old heroes of traditional music while hypnotically channelling the heartbeat of the country.’ – Lust for Life
