Eamon headlined a Canada Blast showcase at MIDEM this past Sunday in Cannes. It was a blast and we met a ton of great folks at the conference. Thanks to CIMA and all those we met ~ I’ll be in touch soon.

Cheers!

Eamon McGrath : Young Canadians : Pre-Release Show

ryder — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:46:17 +0000

Eamon McGrath’s upcoming White Whale Records album Young Canadians will be performed live, from start to finish, at Toronto’s Bovine Sex Club (Bovine Sex Club 542 Queen St W) on February 18th. This show will be the only place to hear the as-yet-unreleased record in its entirety, note-for-note, with McGrath’s full band ready to bash out a set of soon-to-be anthems, straight off the mastering console and ready to rear their heads for a live crowd.

With some songs already crowd favourites, especially the Exclaim!TV hit “Rabid Dog” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C_47PNjNRM), and others still yet to see the light of the stage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3unLl_APnYg), the Bovine set is going to be a cross-examination of all the styles that are going to make up this highly anticipated release, ranging from psychedelic folk, to Bakersfield-style country, to mid-90s pacific northwest guitar workouts; all with the gnashing teeth and punk intensity McGrath is known for.

Exclaim! Votes Sentimental Gentleman #5 Best Folk Album

Snailhouse — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:55:21 +0000

5. Snailhouse Sentimental Gentleman (White Whale)
Having put in time re-drawing the boundaries of independent post-rock with seminal Ottawa outfit the Wooden Stars and acting as atmospheric guitar slinger for fellow Canadian acts Kepler and Bell Orchestre, Mike Feuerstack has steadily committed his most personal material to record as Snailhouse all the while. This year’s Sentimental Gentleman feels like a culmination of sorts, containing Feuerstack’s strongest collection of songs to date…

Eamon McGrath Looks for the Ties That Bind with New ‘Young Canadians’ LP

Eamon — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:46:32 +0000

If you’ve followed Toronto-based Eamon McGrath’s career you’d know that he’s never been one to rest on his laurels. Still in his early 20s, the Edmonton transplant spits out material faster than a loose-lipped MC. So it’s surprising that we’ve had to wait over a year for his follow-up to 2010’s excellent Peace Maker….

Eamon McGrath: “Machine Gun Cowboy” Live on Exclaim TV!

“Prolific songwriter and musician Eamon McGrath is originally from Edmonton, but has since relocated to Toronto, which means we were lucky enough to catch him performing at the inaugural Bloor Ossington Folk Festival last month.

Backed by a band at the Theatre of Human Health, McGrath delivered a loud, punk-infused performance of “Machine Gun Cowboy,” which you can watch above this post.”
