Who are The McNifficent 7? Why are there only five guys on the stage? What do they sound like? The question isn’t who, what, or why; the question is how. How did this happen? It all started in the Fall of 2010 when Sean McNiff, a strange guy with an even stranger name, met Ty Popick in a Statistics class at Georgia State University. Lazy and uninterested in academic pursuits, McNiff and Popick killed time in class talking about music and quickly bonded over a mutual interest in soul and country music. They talked about getting together to play one day; it only took two years. Fast forward to the Summer of 2012, McNiff grabbed a microphone, Popick grabbed a guitar, and Atlanta music scene veteran, and International recording artist Andrew Freni stepped behind the drum kit. After a handful of practices and a huge pile of empty beer cans, Popick recruited a couple of monster players in Scott Toney (bass guitar), and Kyle Hanschke (guitar and keyboards). From there, everything just kind of fell into place for the guys, and here we are. That’s who they are, and that’s how it happened. As for what they sound like, think about what might have happened if Sam Cooke and Hank Williams had a bastard child together. That leaves one unanswered question, though. Why are they The McNifficent 7 if there are only five of them? We’ll leave that up to you to decide. Some riddles are best left unsolved.
