McGinty & White will be performing their debut album arranged for string quartet, piano and voice. They are thrilled to be joined by their friends, Merge recording artists, The Ladybug Transistor.

“If artful eccentrics Scott Walker and Van Dyke Parks teamed up to pursue a bittersweet orchestral-pop path instead of heading for more idiosyncratic realms, they might have sounded like NYC’s Ward White and Joe McGinty, teaming up for the first time here.”

On his blog, Taylor says:

McGinty & White: …Sing Selections from the McGinty & White Songbook
Two veteran NYC scenesters cuddle up together in a cold world where their lovely and whimsical pop tunes are out of fashion. Even the “Wichita Lineman” cover is interesting, though they probably flipped a coin over Jimmy Webb or Lee Hazlewood.

If you’d like to see us flip some coins in person, Joe McGinty & Ward White will return as the musical guests for Upright Citizens Brigade this Friday, January 8th, at 11pm.
