About this event

Joe McGinness

Joe McGinness is one of country music’s best kept secrets, with his creative, catchy songwriting and energetic performances rivaling many of his industry peers. 

Joe grew up in the Champlain Valley of Vermont and Upstate NY, and was introduced to music by his family at a very young age. Through many years of playing music professionally, Joe crafted his own unique style of country music. His most recent single is "Forever, I Will."  He has shared the stage with many top artists - Frankie Ballard, Granger Smith, Dylan Scott, Old Dominion and others.

For Joe’s Ballard Park appearance, the new age country rising star will share the stage with his teenage sons, Chase and Bo McGinness they open the show for their father.
