WHAT A LONG, STRANGE TRIP ITS BEEN...

A New Jersey native, organist John Ginty has toured and/or recorded with many of the top artists in the music industry for the twenty plus years of his career. His credits as a sideman are numerous and impressive; don't believe me, check it out here. But when John is not out playing with the aforementioned top artists, he loves to get together with his old homies from the 'hood (Mo'town, baby!) and kick out some jams of his own. If you've never witnessed a John Ginty Band show, if you've never watched a man saw a Hammond organ in half with his bare hands, then, some would say, you haven't truly lived. Just ask Nappi, he'll tell you all about it...

Inspired by the latin percusssion driven Santana Band, as well as the Allmans and the Dead, Ginty Band plays an assortment of original music and covers, and never, ever shys away from getting their jam on. Featuring bassist Mike Buckman, vocalist Paul Gerdts, percussionists Dave Hedden and Chuck Wood, vocalist/keyboardist Kim Williams and drummer Dan Fadel, the Ginty Band is like an old V8 engine; loud, angry, bad for the environment, and packed with power.

Originally formed sometime in the early 1970's, the band didn't really start playing together until 2004. Since then they have recorded the underground classic, double-live album, Fireside Live, which features 12 inspired performances, including the original songs (and crowd favorite) "Faith In His Name" and "Broken Lines", along with Ginty Band staples, Santana band's "Savor" and the classic blues track "Done Somebody Wrong". Since 2004 the band has performed countless shows up and down the East Coast, including an appearance at the Langeradoo Festival in Ft Lauderdale, Florida in 2007.

The John Ginty Band is currently recording new original music with the intent of releasing a new CD sometime in near future. Please check www.johngintyband.net regularly for updates and news...
