Live Music – Gerald McGrath

Gerald McGrath

With more than 20 years of shows under his belt, both as a solo artist and member of several bands, multi-instrumentalist Gerald McGrath is emerging as one of Kingston, Ontario's favourite musical acts. Gerald has become reknowned for his engaging and captivating performances that use live instrument and vocal looping to create sonic soundscapes that enthrall audiences. Gerald has been fortunate to share a stage with many excellent musicians over the years, including Kingston legend Spencer Evans, singer-songwriter Jen Calder, and Trevor Strong of The Arrogant Worms. Gerald has performed in bands that have played everything from alternative to folk, hard rock to country, and everything in between. Gerald has taken all of his experiences in those disparate genres and distilled it into his own songwriting. Gerald's original music takes the best parts of 90's alternative and present-day indie music and blends them in a way that has drawn comparisons to The Gin Blosssoms and The Watchmen. He is currently in the final stages of releasing his first album of orignal music as a solo artist. His first three singles, 'Kenopsia,' 'Northern Lights,' and 'Afterlife' are available on all streaming platforms. The full album, titled 'This Is Fine', is expected to be released in the fall of 2023.
