McGinty & White are Loser’s Lounge impresario Joe McGinty, and singer/songwriter Ward White. Their debut collaborative album, McGinty & White Sing Selections From The McGinty & White Songbook, has received widespread critical praise, and was recently named one of the five best albums of 2009 by New York Press (JR Taylor), and has been included on 2009 ‘Best Of’ lists by Limewire and Lucid Culture. M&W have been featured on WFMU and East Village Radio, and appear regularly as musical guests for Upright Citizens Brigade.
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.”
