Eamon McGrath is a Toronto-based musician with a 15+ year touring history of Canada, the UK, the USA, Europe, Mexico and Japan. He has released over 25 albums, written 2 books, scored 2 feature films, and has toured the world relentlessly since 2007, cultivating an international audience and committed, loyal network of fans. His fiercely DIY approach has garnered him respect and admiration in both the indie rock and folk communities, as he effortlessly bridges a gap between both genres, composing heartbreakingly beautiful songs that are performed with an honest, intense energy on stages worldwide.

To follow up 2022’s critically-acclaimed Bells of Hope LP, McGrath resurrected his Cassettes Records imprint and released 7 albums of new music online on New Years’ Day, the limited pressing of which sold out immediately on subsequent January 2023 tour dates with The Mahones and Will Hoge. Not one to rest, on the upcoming folk-oriented A Dizzying Lust, McGrath delivers his 8th full-length album of the year – and it’s not even March.

Tracked by McGrath alone in Windsor, ON, and compiled from songs composed during a 10-month world tour in support of Bells of Hope, A Dizzying Lust features McGrath channeling the frontier spirit of a folk singer alone on the road with an acoustic guitar. McGrath’s trademark notoriety as a savage rocker is put to the test here, opting instead for a rare subtle minimalism and focused attention to the lyrics and song. A Dizzying Lust arrives on CD and all streaming platforms March 31, 2023, and McGrath will be taking the album across Ontario and Europe this spring.
