A roots musician whose vintage style is deeply tied to the blues, folk, swing and ragtime
traditions of an earlier era, Bosko Baker is a singer, songwriter, finger-picking guitarist, and, at
times, a one-man-band – though often accompanied by his group The Do Makers or his musical
partner, and fiddle playing sensation, Birdie. Hailing from the midwest, coming-of-age in
Nashville, passing time in New Orleans and finally landing in Québec, Bosko has been singing
on sidewalks and street corners far and wide throughout his travels. This songster is sure to holler
tunes of old, mixed with his polished original songwriting. His love for music is apparent in
performances that cannot hide his constantly wide smile.
While he’s best known for his interpretative playing of traditional acoustic blues, jazz and old time
music, audiences can’t help but notice the influence that Northern living has had on his music. For the
past 13 years McNally has called Whitehorse, YK his home.
Originally from rural southern Quebec, Ryan first discovered jazz and blues by uncovering a huge
collection of ‘78 records that belonged to his grandfather. Then, as a teen, his curiosity for the sound
and history anchored his love for the genres and it’s only grown stronger since.
His first album Down Home (2012), was recorded live by CBC North and received a feature on the
popular radio show Saturday Night Blues, hosted by Holgar Peterson.
In 2017, his second album, Steppin’ Down Southwas nominated for Blues Artist Of The Year at the
Western Canadian Music Awards. That year Ryan and his band, also had the privilege to perform for
Prince William and Princess Kate during their visit to the Yukon.
McNally has become known for his diversity as a multi-instrumentalist. He plays guitar, harmonica,
mandolin, violin and banjo, all in many different styles. Whether performing solo or with his band, his
music is grounded in the legacy of the generations of players that came before him. All the while he
continues to push the boundaries of his own signature sound.
