J.R. Bohannon

Bohannon is a native of Louisville, Kentucky, a city and musical scene internationally mythified for its contribution to the post-rock and post-hardcore scenes of the late 80's and early 90's, as well as a rich history of Appalachian folk cultures on which its musical foundation is built. His guitar style, while descendent from that latter music, has been shaped by both. He composes and performs his virtuosic solo guitar pieces concurrently alongside his ongoing ambient project Ancient Ocean. Now residing in Brooklyn, NY, Bohannon is familiar face in the local music scene, he also plays in Gold Dime and is a part of Torres' live band.
