Revisiting Creedence’s frontmen Dan McGuinness and Kurt Griffey, lead vocal and lead guitar respectively, performed over the past decade with rock royalty, fronting Creedence Clearwater Revival founding members Stu Cook and Doug “Cosmo” Clifford’s touring project, Creedence Clearwater Revisited.
Since first taking the stage together with Creedence Clearwater Revisited in 2011, Dan and Kurt fronted the legendary touring group and performed nearly 1,000 concerts around the globe -- across the United States, Canada, South America, Mexico, and New Zealand -- rocking the iconic catalog of CCR, one of America’s all-time greatest bands.
Revisiting Creedence’s musicianship and experience are the key. With the purity and power of McGuinness’ soaring voice, coupled with Griffey’s lead guitar prowess, Revisiting Creedence nails signature hits Green River, Bad Moon Rising, Down on The Corner, Born on The Bayou, Fortunate Son, Proud Mary and more. Kurt roams the stage driving extended jams such as I Heard It Through the Grapevine and Susie Q. The show is an absolute blast for the audience!

DAN McGUINNESS
To call Dan McGuinness a singer is an understatement. Dan’s voice harkens a listener’s memory back to a time when blue-eyed soul ruled the radio. Full and powerful, Dan’s voice can go from edgy and rough to soft and delicate in an instant. His incredible range and perfect pitch are complimented by his expert technique and his soft touch.
In constant demand as a singer, songwriter, performer and radio broadcaster, Dan is no longer Chicago’s best-kept secret. As a fan of CCR, he started listening to every album and bootleg he could get his hands on. His interpretation and delivery of the songs are right on the mark and he consistently wows audiences with his live performances.
In January of 2016, McGuinness joined bassist Stu Cook & drummer Doug “Cosmo” Clifford’s legendary touring group, Creedence Clearwater Revisited, on rhythm guitar and lead vocals. Cook & Clifford are the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame rhythm section and co-founding members of Creedence Clearwater Revival.
