Damian McGinty Career
Celtic Thunder
McGinty joined the newly formed Celtic Thunder in 2008 as a boy soprano at 14, and as he aged, developed a rich baritone, while still singing tenor and was able to hit the high notes.
During the four years he was a member, the group did four tours of the US and Canada, six PBS TV specials, performed at the White House, and sold over a million recordings, with McGinty on nine of the concert CDs and DVDs. For three of his four years, Celtic Thunder was named Top World Album by Billboard magazine.
In 2015, McGinty returned as the Special Guest in the “Very Best of Celtic Thunder Tour” and now, he takes George Donaldson’s place in the newest concert “Legacy”. He is a full member of the group once again.
The Glee Project
In 2011, McGinty was selected as one of the top twelve finalists, out of 40,000 contenders, in a Myspace audition search, to be on the Oxygen reality show, The Glee Project. The O visa arrived at the last moment, allowing him to compete. He became very popular with viewers due to his humor, talent, and hard work. Although his friend Cameron Mitchell, who quit the show (possibly saving McGinty who was in the bottom three that episode), won the Bing Fan Favorite, they sang Michael Bublé’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” together for the Bing video. McGinty’s rendition of “Beyond the Sea” impressed the judges who selected him as co-winner with Samuel Larsen for a seven-episode arc on the third season of the Fox series Glee. He announced that he was leaving Celtic Thunder for Glee.
Glee
In the third season of Glee, McGinty played Rory Flanagan, a foreign exchange student staying with Brittany S. Pierce’s family and befriended by Finn Hudson. During his first episode “Pot o’ Gold” McGinty sang two solos: “Take Care of Yourself” which showcased his “beautiful range” and “Bein’ Green” his “simple, clear-voiced ode to being an outsider rang true and was hauntingly beautiful.” His initial seven episodes were extended to the end of the third season and he returned for the fourth season Christmas episode (18 episodes). His “smooth and lovely” rendition of “Blue Christmas” was also on the Glee Christmas album, and he sang “Home” as a solo, as well as numerous group and duet songs. McGinty appeared in a humorous sketch about his Irish accent on an MTV “Glee-Cap”
The popular singer has over half a million fans on Twitter.
