Johnny Bell

Exploring the banjo as a progressive instrument desiring to evolve beyond its traditional roots. From within the lineage of American Primitive music Johnny’s current work juxtaposes traditional clawhammer banjo techniques with acoustic drone, ambient field recordings, radio broadcast, tape loops and other found sounds to create recursive sonic textures that are trance-inducing and cathartic. https://johnnybell.bandcamp.com/ https://johnnybell.net/
