McKain Lakey

Described by What’s Up Magazine as “a time capsule unearthed, fine-tuned and re-imagined”, Lakey draws creative inspiration from far corners of the American music tradition, tracing the lines of musical lineage that connect old time to rockabilly, country to Cajun to Dixieland. A 2024 Cedar Commissions Artist and 2022 Folk Alliance Official Showcase Artist, Lakey is one of the rare musicians that is as talented a songwriter and singer, as instrumentalist and arranger.
