Bill MacKay Tickets

Bill MacKay music is a visceral crackling where it meets the air, and 'Locust Land' can't help but reflect its era more than any other in his discography.

It's been five years since the release of 'Fountain Fire'  but in the interim, Bill has barely stopped moving, collaborating with artists across the spectrum, including cellist Katinka Kleijn, banjo player Nathan Bowles and keyboardist Cooper Crain. He's also contributed to recordings by Steve Gunn, Ryley Walker, Bill Callahan & Bonnie Prince Billy (Blind Date Party), and Black Duck (on their self-titled record featuring Douglas McCombs and Charles Rumback). 

Bill's sense of music as art is constantly modulating — lifting off from where it is found and naturally migrating to some other place. Sometimes, that's elsewhere — others, it's simply to be found deeper inside the starting point. And so, the action of moving on informs the landscape of Locust Land. This manifests in several different ways.
