Ian McNally -- Guitar

 

Ian grew up playing violin and singing with his mother, a former Berklee College of Music student. He co-founded Cicero & the Orations in 2009 with lead singer Tim Bustle. He studied music at Hunter College, receiving a Masters in Composition in 2020, and was a member of six of their musical ensembles, including a widely popular pop combo. His guitar influences range from Duane Allman, Jacob Blizzard, Jack White and Haley Heynderickx, to Eric Krasno. As the primary song writer for the band, he draws inspiration from a wide variety of artists, from Cage the Elephant to Gustav Mahler.
