Al O'Kane morphs swampy blues and folk into the sound of Celtic resistance rock'n'roll -  “West Country Gumbo from the Somerset Delta”.

 

“a cry for action nestled into a fiery acoustic blend” (Davey Ray Moor)

 

Having completed a European tour before the pandemic hit, Al had also just won the Shrewsbury Folk Festival open mic competition and subsequently performed twice at the 2022 festival!

 

2020-2021 saw four self-produced releases, which are available on all music providers, along with his self-titled debut album - on which he worked with many incredible acoustic musicians. It was co-produced with Steve Evans (Robert Plant, Goldfrapp).

 

After taking some time out to be a new dad, Al is back in 2024 with solo gigs throughout the summer - including Shrewsbury Folk Festival!
