Barnaby Keen & Band
Lead singer and creative force behind the brilliant Flying Ibex, Barnaby Keen has written with Rag n Bone Man and Marcus Foster. Keen´s music fuses Brazillian melodies with Beatle-esque psychedelia, African rhythms and nods to Thom Yorke and Jamaican reggae. Built around guitar, vocal and loops, what emerges is a unique, woozily catchy set of highly accessible world-music infused songs, all delivered with charismatic flair.
