Moving beyond his extensive background in traditional American music, Gregory Mulkern is an original international touring/recording musician recognized for discovering new creative possibilities for the iconic 5-string banjo through his solo act, Banjolectric. On the heels of the act's first European tour, Banjolectric's debut album So Below was featured in PopMatters' “The 20 Best Folk Albums of 2018” questioning the limits of what we call “Americana.” The 2019 and 2021 releases, As Above and In The Center, have continued to gain traction for the project nationally and abroad. Banjolectric’s base of operation moves from the US to Europe in 2022 to be closer to Mulkern’s indie-Americana project 2Frontiers but Banjolectric will maintain a US national tour schedule in addition to dates in Europe.
