Neil McGuire is a Pittsburgh-based musician, filmmaker, and storyteller whose work blends vivid lyricism, cinematic textures, and an unflinching sense of emotional honesty. Drawing from a background in history, literature, and the raw pulse of everyday life, Neil crafts songs that blur the boundaries between indie rock, dream pop, and alternative folk—each track a fragment of a larger, evolving narrative.

Since first sharing his music online, Neil has built a body of work that reflects both an intimate, confessional voice and a widescreen, atmospheric vision. His compositions often weave together layered guitar lines, moody synths, and vocals that carry the weight of lived experience. Influenced by artists like MGMT, Radiohead, and The Strokes—but defined by his own distinct voice—Neil creates music that invites listeners to step into his inner world.

Beyond music, Neil’s creative output extends to filmmaking and multi-media storytelling, with projects like ELK CREEK showcasing his ability to merge sound, image, and narrative into immersive art. His work is deeply rooted in connection over transaction—each song and film designed to resonate, not just impress.

Whether playing to a local crowd, producing in the quiet hours of the night, or shaping an evolving artistic mythos, Neil McGuire’s mission remains the same: to live life fully, transform experience into art, and share that journey with anyone who finds beauty in the in-between.
