Charleston-based singer-songwriter Tom Mackell brings with him a warm, easygoing presence everywhere he goes, and that same presence is reflected in his music. He has made a name for himself in the Southeast with his open, honest songwriting that incorporates tasteful bits of pop, rock, and Americana and leaves plenty of room for a soulful groove. Tom heads into 2022 with a new acoustic EP, Unplugged, and a long-awaited return to life on the road.

Growing up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Mackell started writing songs at a young age and before long he found himself traveling along the East Coast, playing shows in bars and making plenty of friends on the way. Soon he formed roots in Charleston, SC, where he became part of the city’s budding music community and wrote some of his early releases. In 2015 he began a stint in Nashville and spent a few years poking around the scene there, networking and carving out his own corner of Music City that will always welcome him and the crowd he brings with open arms.

Tom Mackell’s life on the road has led him to share the stage with artists such as Pat Benatar, Ryan Montbleau, Sister Hazel, Tony Lucca, Charlie Mars, SUSTO, and more.

Now he is back in Charleston, on the downhill side of a pandemic with a bag full of new songs and a deeper appreciation for the people around him. His latest EP, Hearts Wide Open, includes two of his most recent singles, “Strange Times” and “Maybe Tonight”, as well as three other tracks.

Though heavily influenced by guitar-driven rock, pop, and blues born out of Memphis, New York City, Detroit, and the British Invasion in the 1960s, Foster McGinty is not a throwback artist recreating a golden period in popular music. While a familiar retro texture is ever-present, Foster McGinty has a sound and style undeniably both modern and original. McGinty left his midwestern Mississippi River upbringing as soon as he finished high school. Following a brief move to Los Angeles, McGinty would ultimately get his start in Memphis, TN playing long sets of all original material in smokey dives. A move to New York City would open McGinty up as an artist and performer, earning his stripes and working his way up to reputable clubs in the city's east and west villages. Based in Nashville, TN since 2014, McGinty is making a name in Music City on the burgeoning Americana scene.

Turning the struggle of finding one's place in the Universe into an anthem for the optimistic.
