DAMIEN O’KANE & RON BLOCK

This duo’s debut is something extraordinary. Already acclaimed as a Folk Awards-nominated solo artist, Coleraine ace O’Kane’s transatlantic hook-up with Block, Alison Krauss’s 14-time Grammy-winning maestro, is a seamless and dazzling merging of musical styles and compositional sensibility. The inspirations are refined and varied and the execution, aided by top rank accompanists, is pure perfection. It’s time to get strung out.
