Bill MacKay is a guitarist, composer, singer & improviser. Praised in the Washington Post, Chicago Reader, New York Times, Mojo, and NPR.
A renowned solo artist and accomplished collaborator with projects that include solo albums Esker (2017), Fountain Fire ( 2019) and Locust Land ( 2024 ), and recordings with cellist Katinka Kleijn ( Stir , 2019), Nathan Bowles ( Keys , 2021), and Ryley Walker ( SpiderBeetleBee , 2019), all released on Drag City Records, MacKay has pursued his musical investigations with obsessive rigor.
A deep radiance envelopes even MacKay's most dissonant explorations, and his trajectory travels seamlessly from the avant-garde to folk modes and further. In his music, tradition is invited to be reinvented.
MacKay is also a poet, visual artist and polyglot, and is a member of both the avant-garde rock outfit Black Duck (with Douglas McCombs) and the experimental groove-drone project BCMC (with Cooper Crain).
Among other publications, his work has received praise in the Washington Post, Chicago Reader, New York Times, Mojo, Uncut, Downbeat, Paste, Pitchfork, and NPR.
