"Best of 2007"Best Acoustic Holler from a Blue Collar: Dave McGrath Dave McGrath is one of the hardest-working men in showbiz 'round these parts. After slaving away all day, the man works all night as the crowds in the bars he plays work it all off. Just dig his schedule at davemcgrath.com; the cat is playing out just about every night. And where a musician could cop a world-weary tone under these circumstances, McGrath shoulders his guitar in lieu of his burdens and shares the joy with his big smile, and in his sweet tenor and puts it in perspective the way only a classic singer/songwriter can. - BY FRANK DE BLASE City Newspaper Best Of 2007
After years of performing, and recording with bands in the Seattle area Dave McGrath has returned to his native Rochester NY and recorded a very impressive collection of songs. Hear for yourself what years of dedication have produced on this 12 song CD. The songwriting, musicianship and production are major label quality with great hooks, intelligent lyrics and soaring harmonies. "An eclectic mix of pop rock, Dave has a gift for infusing his songs with great emotion and passion."-Michelle Picardo- Freetime Magazine-
I'm recording my second album with the help of some very special and talented artist's. Pat Petrone has played with me for over 3 years...and after hundreds of shows have found a deep friendship and musical connection.
Other players along the path have made the music come alive....including: Alysia Groth, Rob Schlafer, Chris McGlen, Frank Quagliata, Jon Servo, Mike Van Allen, Jared Steriff, Brian,& Ralph Ortiz.
It's an honor to play with all these fine musicians...and I want to thank all of them for their help and friendship though these albums.
Look for the follow up CD to be released soon, and check out the other project I record and perform with "Strangest Angels"Thanks for all your support, You Rock!
