Eamon McGrath is a folk music and punk rock musician from Edmonton, Alberta and currently based in Toronto. On his own, his live performances are most often folk-oriented, where McGrath plays songs from his discography on acoustic instruments, but with a band the live show takes on a much more high-energy, punk rock influenced vein.[1]
McGrath records primarily on his own at his home in Toronto and releases albums independently in Canada and through a number of record labels, including Canada's White Whale Records who recently signed McGrath at the tail end of 2008.[2] 2008 also saw McGrath begin a rigid touring schedule which continued throughout 2010.[3]
Peace Maker, McGrath's latest album, was released on July 20, 2010. The record is produced by David Carswell and John Collins of The Evaporators. McGrath is currently completing his follow-up to Peace Maker, titled Young Canadians, which is being recorded at JCDC as well.
