Events » Live Music » Morgan O'Kane & The Rodeo Clowns

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. On this tour he will be performing with fiddle player
Ferd Moyse of the Hackensaw boys and Dobro player Ezekiel Healy (The Boggs). After hearing Morgan’s first
full length release “Nine Lives” your sorrows will be drowned, your spirits lifted, and all your ideas of what
it means to play the banjo will be dismantled.
