Mokai

Versed in folk blues from an early age, Mokai accompanies himself on fingerstyle guitar, playing earthy original music. He tells gripping stories, rhymes freely, and through his songs, he melds the strange and beautiful into rootsy performances. Mokai's solo shows - featuring his signature fingerpicking - are the real revelation. He creates an intimate world for his audience, with his bluesy voice, engaging lyrics, and innovative use of fingerstyle guitar. Mokai's music pulses with rhythm -his driving thumb laying down counterpoint bass patterns as Mokai riffs along on top.
