This Mess We’re In on Oh Boy Records - https://ohboy.com/collections/arlo-mckinley Music has always had special meaning for McKinley. Born and raised in Cincinnati, he started singing in Baptist church when he was eight. At home, the family record collection included everything from George Jones to Otis Redding. As a teen, inspired by his dad and uncle, who played guitars in church, Arlo learned some power chords and figured out every song on the first Social Distortion album. “From there, I taught myself,” he says. But a full-time music career was still years away. Through his twenties and early thirties, he worked at a record store, gigged with a duo called The Great Depression and “dabbled in songwriting.” Weirdly, it wasn't until he found himself in what seemed like a dead-end job delivering tuxedos that he decided to pursue music. “I did that for years, driving from Cincinnati to Detroit and back, but it gave me a lot of time to think and listen to music. That's when I started writing the songs that led to up to what I'm doing now.” BOOKING: PAT MAY - PATMAY@CROSSOVERTOURING.COM PUBLICITY: MATT HANKS - SHOREFIRE MEDIA - MHANKS@SHOREFIRE.COM MANAGEMENT: KEEBIE GILKERSON - KGILKERSON@WHIZZBANGBAM.COM
