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.

Overhaul are a Rock / Grunge / Alternative Rock band formed in Scotland by American Singer/Songwriter/Musician Andy Gallagher in 1997. They have opened for international touring acts such as Bob Mould (Husker Du / Sugar), Violent Femmes, Dinosaur Jr, Langhorne Slim, Grant Hart (Husker Du), Dom Brown (Duran Duran/Take That) and Ken Stringfellow (R.E.M/The Posies).

Rocking the music scene for over 25 years, extensive touring has brought Overhaul to festivals throughout Europe, including Liverpool Sound City, Go North Festival, Inverness, and the Electric Picnic Festival in Ireland. Audiences flock to venues such as The Liquid Room in Edinburgh, King Tut’s in Glasgow, and The Cavern in Liverpool to get their daily dose of rock. Fans eagerly scan concert bulletins for a chance to catch Overhaul onstage.

Overhaul has five releases to date, including Hope Shines Through (2006), Here and There (2009), Achukma (2013), Lighter (2018) and OVERHAUL (Revisited) (2021). From the roar of the opening riff of “Dry Your Eyes” on Hope Shines Through, to the overdriven but melodic guitars of the closing song “Can't Go Back” on OVERHAUL (Revistited), Overhaul is able to retool their sound with each album while being consistent with their musical roots. As the quote from Jimi Hendrix reads on their artwork for Lighter, “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace,” many fans felt peace when the band announced a new album was in the works.

With no intention of reinventing the wheel, OVERHAUL offer good, solid, ear catching songs coupled fun, energetic live performances.
