Member of several high-profile bands in the Chicago post rock scene including Tortoise and The Sea And Cake. Usually a percussionist on most projects. McEntire is also a producer for many albums including Stereolab, Trans Am, and his own projects.

Recently, completed the soundtrack to Reach The Rock, a John Hughes film.

McEntire is considered to be like Jim O'Rourke in terms of the who's who factor of post rock type music(ie. if you want to be post rock, either lose the singer or get O'Rourke or McEntire to record the album.)
