McGinty is a seasoned music group hailing from the rugged coasts of Atlantic Canada, known for their deep-rooted connection with the region's rich maritime heritage. Distinguished by their name, which exudes a sense of tradition and lore, the band expertly blends the sounds of the sea with a contemporary folk aesthetic, capturing the essence of Atlantic Canada's cultural tapestry. Over the years, McGinty has charmed audiences with their heartfelt performances and authentic storytelling, articulated through both original compositions and beloved traditional tunes.
Their discography reflects a journey through the ebb and flow of the Atlantic, from the melancholic "Till We Meet Again" to the rousing "44° North," which invites listeners to navigate the vast musical and maritime landscape they celebrate. "Sea Songs" and its subsequent collection, "Atlantic Favourites II," carry on the band's penchant for nautical themes, delivering renditions that resonate with the soul of the sea faring community. "Ballads & Bar Tunes" and its precursor, "Atlantic Favourites," offer a dynamic mix of lively jigs and poignant ballads, a testament to their versatility. "Live," "Tried and Trio," and "Breaking Tradition" showcase the ensemble's ability to connect with live audiences, bridging the gap between past and present. With "Call of the Sea," McGinty once again summons the siren’s call, inviting listeners to be swept away by the undulating rhythms and harmonies that define their signature sound.
