L. Don Ōkami

folk-drone-noise / from South Carolina, based in Tampere, Finland

L. Don Ōkami is the nom de banjo of Tampere transplant Don Lupo from South Carolina via Switzerland, Germany, Japan and Ireland.

Don has been playing American for over 50 years and clawhammer banjo for over 35. After many years focusing on traditional music from the southern US, he has started exploring the space between traditional folk music, drones, noise and banjo with the aid of loopers, effects and collaborators, and his first solo album “Judgement Day in Pyynikki” was released on Hulina Records in 2018.

His second album “Banjo Machine Music” was released September 2025 on the label Ikuisuus.

His performances are musical journeys weaving between hard-core traditional Appalachian folk, own songs in a similar style, and trance-inducing banjo instrumentals supplemented by loops and effects

Don has played to enthusiastic audiences in Finland, Sweden, UK, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

Don also plays in the punk-folk-psychedelia band Dark Bottle and the folk-prog-improvisation project SOL Trio.
