Ginty's
recent album release Bad New
Travels (American Showplace Music) has received critical acclaim
and has charted highly on Roots Music Report, among others. John has
toured and recorded with artists such as Jewel, Citizen Cope, Santana, Dixie
Chicks, Matthew Sweet, Court Yard Hounds, and Bad Religion, to name a few. The
New Jersey native is an original member of Robert Randolph and the Family Band,
for which he received two Grammy Nominations; as well as a Gospel Music Award
for Urban Album of the year in 2003. That same year, Ginty appeared on the Blind
Boys of Alabama's Grammy Award winner Higher Ground. Over the years John has
been a frequent guest, sitting in with the Allman Brothers at their yearly
Beacon Theatre concert series. Ginty's discography spans over a decade and a
half, and demonstrates his eclectic influences and unique sounds on the
keys.
"John Ginty
is not only one of the premiere
keyboard players of his generation, but he is raising the bar for players to
come. With a set as strong as "Bad News Travels," he is definitely a player to
watch!"
NASHVILLE BLUES
SOCIETY
"Creating a seemingly effortless blend of blues, classic
rock, funk, and soul, Ginty utilizes his past experience as well as numerous
special guests. One minute Todd Wolfe is confidently weaving a guitar solo in
the smooth "Peanut Butter" and the next minute, vocalist Alecia Chakour is
strutting about on the soulful and spunky "Seven & The
Spirit."
RELIX
MAGAZINE
"After a few
decades of playing the sideman, John Ginty has finally taken a leadership role
with Bad News Travels and the spotlight suits him well. This CD is chock
full of first-rate talent and fabulous blues-based music, and whether you are a
fan of the organ or not it is definitely worth your time to give it a
listen!"
