Joe McGinty & The Loser’s Lounge are a collective of New York City’s finest performers who have been selling out live shows every other month for thirty years. Their performances include strings, horns, extensive vocal arrangements, unusual keyboards, and a backing band made up of the best musicians in New York, along with a wild and varied cast of guest singers. Founded in 1993 by former Psychedelic Furs keyboardist Joe McGinty, The Loser’s Lounge continues to canonize the great songwriting catalogs of the '60s, 70's and ‘80’s in its own unique way. "From Abba to the Zombies" as the New York Times has said, The Loser’s Lounge is in the business of redemption; honoring pop stars from these eras and validating the zeal of music fans. From well known composers like Neil Diamond, Prince, Burt Bacharach, and David Bowie, to more obscure artists like Serge Gainsbourg and Harry Nilsson, The Loser’s Lounge walks the line between sincerity and irreverence to recreate the meticulous arrangements of the classic song books that you love, live.
