Artist History "The McGuffin" is a five-man, Richmond, VA based band that has been playing in and around the river city since late 2000. Being on the forefront of the Richmond music scene, they have recently opened up for such national acts as Molly Hatchett and Little Feat. Influenced by "The Beatles", Frank Zappa's upredictable nature and style, and "The Allman Brother's" tightly hewn melodies, "The McGuffin" is a jack-of-many trades band.

Press Reviews "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."
