Ali McGuirk commands the room with her dynamic voice and heartfelt songwriting. Blending classic soul power with folk songwriter lyricism, Ali has the rare ability to silence a room with just a few words of a song. With a vocal style rooted deeply in improvisation, her sets are a hypnotic and intimate emotional journey.

Her debut album, Slow Burn earned her recognition as one of New England’s most compelling artists and Ali has been bringing her music to national audiences ever since, leading her award winning band, serenading solo with her electric guitar and finding inspiration in unexpected collaborations.

“A soul singer who invokes comparisons to Amy Winehouse, but rocks even harder.” – Steve Morse, The Boston Globe

“Raw yet still devastatingly beautiful.” – Candace McDuffie, Vanyaland
