Bankie Banx - Village Voice

[Anguillan newsboy]

Straight outta Anguilla—a tiny, expensive Caribbean retreat for the well-heeled—but don't hold it against their number one artist, even if he owns the island's preeminent beach cafe/performance area and headlines his own annual Moonsplash music fest. The singer-songwriter Banx has carved his own roots style—a blend of rock, folk, and reggae—and it's won him fervent fans the world over.
