Ali McGuirk w/s/g Ginger Winn
Ali McGuirk has never been a church mouse. In fact, these days, she’s standing at the pulpit. “I feel like I’m writing lyrics that are preaching,” McGuirk said with a laugh, realizing in real time how much her voice as an artist has evolved while writing and arranging her latest album, Watertop. “I’m actually delivering a message, not necessarily processing my feelings, but delivering my thoughts on the matter. That felt like a different role to embody as a songwriter.”
Ali McGuirk delivers soul-stirring vocals, genre-bending soundscapes, and fearless songwriting in her bold new album Watertop. Known for her smoky voice and lyrical depth, McGuirk blends R&B, folk, soul, and classic rock into songs that explore love, justice, identity, and the spiritual side of activism.
With a critically acclaimed catalog—including Til It’s Gone, one of The Boston Globe’s Top 50 Albums of the Year—McGuirk returns with her most experimental and personal work yet. Featuring top-tier musicians and rich, genre-defying production, Watertop is a sonic sermon and a celebration of truth, love, and self-expression.
