Joe McGinty Music on SoundBetter

Hello, I was a member of the Psychedelic Furs and other credits include Ryan Adams, Nada Surf, The Ramones, etc. I currently have a vintage keyboard studio and I can add my vintage keyboard playing and expertise to your track. Also available for co-writes.

At my vintage keyboard studio I have a Fender Rhodes, an amazing early Wurlitzer electric piano, a Hammond M3 & Leslie, Clavinet, and many synthesizers: vintage Moogs, ARPs and Oberheims, and current synthesizers as well. A beautiful Steinway upright, Optigan, Electric Harpsichord. And the list goes on and on.
I can record via Universal Audio into ProTools or Logic. Additional credits include Space Hog, Ronnie Spector, Okkervill River, Martha Wainwright, Nina Persson.
I am also very good at writing catchy melodies. I've worked in TV and film, and recently wrote a big band era song for Christopher Walken to sing!

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

    Joe did an excellent job. He created a great soundscape that supported the song and played some epic parts that enhanced the song! Joe is a professional and a pleasure to work with! I would definitely work with Joe again.

    So it's one thing when a musician is gifted at their instrument and it's a whole other thing when they have a brilliant imagination. Joe has both those in boat loads. He builds beautiful worlds and hooks in truly unique ways. Sweet guy on top of all that! I will definitely be returning, how could I not!

    Joe provided fantastic Rhodes and synth parts for my song. It was exactly what the song called for. I'd definitely work with him again.
