Eugene Mcguinness

Eugene McGuinness is a singer-songwriter from Manchester who started releasing music around 2006. His debut album 'A Distant Land' came out in 2009, followed by 'Interstellar Highways' in 2012. That second album included 'Blue Jeans,' a song that became particularly well-known among his listeners.

His catalog includes songs like 'Lion,' 'Sugarplum,' and 'A Child Lost In Tesco,' which have a straightforward indie pop feel. He's put out a few more albums since then, including 'Wanderlust' in 2015 and 'Ephemeral' in 2018.

There was some noise around 'Blue Jeans' when it came out, with a few people suggesting the melody sounded familiar. McGuinness maintained it was his own work. He's kept making music since, with a small, steady following for his melodic, lyric-focused songs.
