New Music Canada Track of the Day for April 6, 2009: Eamon McGrath "Big River"

Posted by Tariq Hussain on Apr 06, 2009

Last weekend's JunoFest was a trip.  I bumped into a few folks I hadn't seen in a while like Ryder Havdale from Mohawk Lodge who recently moved to Toronto.  When I saw him, he pulled out a CD and said:  you gotta hear this!! 

So I did.  The next morning. Twice!  Besides the superb vocals and songwriting from Edmonton based Eamon McGrath, the "lo-fi" recording quality is another one of the charms of his CD 13 Songs of Whiskey and Light. 

In the album credits, he writes:  "Recorded in the basement from 2006-2008." Well, this basement production gives the album some extra bite, some bonus grit.

For this podcast, I thought it would be good to hear some reflections on Eamon's music from Ryder who recently signed the young artist to his record label White Whale.

    Eamon is a wild man. Him and The City Streets are definately our favorite bands that tour through Saskatoon regularly. Seeing him playing at a highschool punk show, and blowing a bunch of 15-year-old minds, was awesome. I guess their good christian parents probably wern't as down.
