☀️Looking forward to seeing Damien and Ron, banjo their way around the east coast of Australia ☀️
After seeing them play Your Roots Are Showing a few years back, their performances kept coming back to my mind. Very happy they will play Blue Mountains Music Festival
Ron Block (Alison Krauss and Union Station) and Damien O”Kane have two distinct banjo traditions, the fiery spirit of Irish tenor banjo and the soulful melodies of bluegrass. With O’Kane’s intricate fingerpicking and Block’s lightning-fast rolls, they craft a sound that is at once familiar and entirely new.”
“I challenge banjo non-believers not to be charmed.” — The Journal of Music
“I was utterly blown away by these guys. Exquisite musicianship. My gig of the year.” — Ralph McTell
“…inspirational…a new and innovative sound. The energy, groove and technique will inspire musicians of any genre.” – Gerry ‘Banjo’ O’Connor
