Hello everyone –
So the CD Release Concert was a huge success…32 fabulous musicians, a beautiful church setting, perfect weather and a wondrous reception under stars afterwards – I couldn't have asked for a better way to end the production stage of this journey and move onto the next phase!
That being said, copies of my debut full-length album TRUE STORY ORCHESTRA are now available for sale on my web site - just head on over to the MUSIC page to get your copy...
Buy an album now and I'll love you forever. Guaranteed.

The word is out….I am really happy to let you all know that my debut album TRUE STORY ORCHESTRA will be officially released by Pet Lion Records on June 24th at the Music Gallery in Toronto!
The band will be recreating the album live with 35+ people joining me onstage on strings, winds, brass, keyboards, guitars, percussion and vocals. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased in advance (by emailing info@ainsleymcneaney.com) or at the door. Copies of TRUE STORY ORCHESTRA will be available for purchase at a discounted price and everyone is welcome to attend a reception following the show.
Due to the, um, large-ish scale of this show, it is a one-time only deal, certainly not to be missed. Hope to see you all there!

Happy new year to all! I just wanted to check in briefly and let you all know that the album is halfway done. So far, we've recorded: bass, drums, piano, strings, vibes, glockenspiel, marimba, timpani, chimes, xylophone and some miscellaneous percussion. And over the next couple of weeks, we'll be adding in the brass and winds, which I am super excited about!
Yesterday in the studio, I had given myself a moment to recover from the beautiful realisation that the music is turning out exactly the way that my generous imagination wanted it to. That, my dear friends, is reason enough to create – when out of nothing comes something that breathes, the feeling is beyond extraordinary. I can't wait to share this with everyone.
That being said, the album release date will be at the beginning of May, so keep checking back for more details!
