Michael McKean: Folk Musician in New York

About Michael McKean

Michael McKean is an American performer whose work crosses acting, writing, and music, with a long record in film, television, and the stage. In New York City he has appeared at Town Hall, including as part of Loudon Wainwright III’s 80th Birthday Jubilee, sharing the bill with Rufus, Martha, and Lucy Wainwright Roche and guitarist John Scofield. His country-leaning songwriting sits comfortably alongside collaborators such as Christopher Guest, Judd Apatow, and Joe Henry. His performances favor character and plainspoken delivery over spectacle.
