'West Virginia mountain man sings loud and raw and plays banjo fast and beautiful.'
Morgan O’kane is an exuberant and intensely talented musician from Charlottesville, Virginia – residing in NYC. His distinct sound is an evolution of his work with“scum billy” band Casa De Chihuahua and time spent playing in the New York Subway system. In 2010 Morgan is emerging above ground, equipped with a suitcase, kick pedal, banjo, a sense of urgency and a debut full length recording, “Nine Lives”. From the Mountaintop removal protests of West Virginia, to the clubs of Williamsburg/Brooklyn, to the pubs of Belfast and through Holland and back again, these days O’kane’s soulful war cry can be heard for miles.A capable one man band, Morgan is often accompanied around the globe by a revolving door of inspirational musicians such as fiddle player Ferd Moyse of the Hackensaw boys, Dobro player Ezekiel Healy, Banjo “ninja” Philip Roebuck, singer/songwriters Domino Kirke, Zack Orion, and cellists Ben Sollee and Leyla McCalla.

Lynched
With their eclectic mix of Dublin street songs, traditional Irish dance tunes, and classic folk ballads, The Lynch brothers have spent the best part of the last decade unleashing their own raucous take on the folk idiom. They have toured extensively in both North and Central America, Australia, as well as having made many rounds of the bars and squatted buildings of the European continent.
