Old Time Music Duo with Cameron DeWhitt & Morgan Harris

Morgan Harris (she/they) is a Colorado-based guitarist specializing in traditional North American stringband (or ‘old time’) music. In contrast to the purely accompanying role the guitar often occupies in this space, Morgan’s distinctive playing technique allows the guitar to shine as an old time melody instrument, creating a rhythmic drive and a multi-layered resonance that is unique in the world of flatpicked guitar.

Cameron DeWhitt is a banjoist and Old Time musician living in Portland, Oregon. They play banjo and sing with Morgan Harris and George Jackson as Tall Poppy String Band, whom Country Queer dubbed “an old-timey, queer supergroup.” Cameron is the innovator behind pitchfork banjo, a three-finger clawhammer technique that allows them a unique, improvisatory approach to old time banjo music. As a solo artist, Cameron plays a thoughtfully curated set of traditional and original instrumentals and songs, troubling the binary of antiquity and modernity and exploring themes of identity, power, and desire; all tasks that are uniquely suited to the banjo.
