The best kept secret in music
Press
"Band of many genres"
"Featuring intriguing titles such as 'Simple Man,' 'Quartermaster General,' and 'Designs on the Smokehouse,' the album serves as an opening salvo in a recording career that's about to add another notch with a new disc later this year."
"...we've been described by as being somewhere in the realm of Southern Psycadelic..."
"Each members character surfaces throughout the band's growing repertoire."

Bio
What is The McGuffin? The answer to this mystery lies with this Richmond, VA based original rock band that has been playing in and around the River City since late 2000. This five man versatile band mixes a foundation of guitar/bass/drum songs with the added textures of keyboards and synthesizers. While playing most extensively in the Greater Richmond area, the band has also performed successful shows throughout the state as well as up and down the East Coast. The McGuffin’s sound has gained the attention of a wide audience, as evidenced by the band opening for national acts such as classic rockers Molly Hatchet and Little Feat, and by their frequent appearances on Richmond area new rock radio stations. The band’s influences cross genres within and outside of rock, but most reflect the classic sounds of The Beatles, The Doors, and The Allman Brothers Band as well as the modern styles of Beck, Pavement, and Soundgarden.
In addition to its experience performing live, The McGuffin has two full-length studio albums to its credit. The band recently released Like You, I Once Was, following up 2002’s Escape Goat. While this group is very comfortable in the creative atmosphere of the studio, they truly enjoy performing their music on the live stage. Combining a repertoire of creative, well-written rock & roll songs with an energetic stage show, there is no mystery why fans leave the shows with such a memorable experience.
