Bill MacKay’s blissful harmonic control and just-outside-the-box guitar mastery are one with his compelling songwriting, and his creative voyage and imaginative influences are fully displayed on his most recent records: Fountain Fire (Drag City, 2019) Esker (Drag City, 2017), SpiderBeetleBee (Drag City, 2017) with Ryley Walker, STIR (Drag City, 2019) with Katinka Kleijn, and Keys (Drag City, 2021) with Nathan Bowles. MacKay’s music has received praise in reviews by the Chicago Reader, Mojo, Uncut, Downbeat, Paste, Pop Matters, The Quietus, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and many other publications. https://billmackay.com/
