The Wall Street Journal has described Gerry O'Connor as "the single best four string banjoist in the history of Irish Music". He is renowned for his innovative, technical wizardry and is widely regarded as one of the most important Irish banjo players of all time. We take a lot at Gerry's humble musical origins and how he ended up on a 4-year world tour with blues guitar legend Joe Bonamassa. Inside The Banjoverse takes you on a journey with some of folk music’s most celebrated artists, exploring the minds, emotions, and experiences of these musicians to understand what drives and inspires them to greatness.
