About

Gerald McGrath is a singer, guitarist, and songwriter from Kingston, Ontario. After more than 20 years as a musician, he has released his debut solo album 'This Is Fine.' Each song is a story written with a particular person in mind, weaving between love, nostalgia, loss, heartbreak, and joy.

Inspired by artists like Gord Downie, Elvis Costello, The National, and Butch Walker, Gerald has created an album with great hooks, hummable melodies, and well-crafted lyrics; he has a unique talent for conveying emotion through his music, creating songs that are both relatable and memorable. 

On 'This Is Fine' Gerald meticulously crafted his songs piece by piece, playing all of the instruments himself (except the drums, where he was helped by the excellent Trevor Roorda) in his home studio. Additonal musicians on the album include vocalists Jen Calder, Mellow Lily, and Samantha McGrath, pianist Mary Gauthier, and contributions by his children, Sophie and Harrison.

'This Is Fine' is available to stream on all major platforms, and is also available to purchase at live shows on CD.

“Caught him at Gan Brewing Co and was blown away by his voice and his ability to arrange songs in such a warm and beautiful way. A true talent not to be missed.”
