Mcgrath, Eamon
Young Canadians
You could call Eamon McGrath a folk singer, but the truth is that his style changes at the drop of a dime; with shows ranging from loud, sweaty, bombastic, punk-inspired barnburners, to quiet, intimate country best fit for a Western saloon. McGrath is one of the most versatile and diverse Canadian songwriters right now. His critically acclaimed debut "13 Songs of Whiskey and Light" could be seen as a book of poems; his second "Peacemaker" (which Allan Jones of Uncut included in his top 10 of 2010) is a short story, and "Young Canadians" a novel - a road story describing lovers, regrets, secrets, guitars, alcohol, ghosts, dive bars and motels.
