GMacGuffin (T.C. Johnston) wants to tell you a story … mostly about flawed fictional characters. Bouncing haphazardly from bluesy folk to folksy Americana to eclectic to fake old-timey Western tunes, GMacGuffin crafts seemingly-accessible quirky songs tending toward dark, aspiring toward witty — songs realized as dense tales of unfortunate people in bad situations, and bad people in unfortunate situations. And also some silly material. Based in San Diego since the 1980s, multi-instrumentalist GMacGuffin played keyboards and drums in local 90s bands including Noisepie and faux pas. Now he sings and plays guitar and talks, quickly and a lot.
