biographical info
Ryan MacGrath has just been nominated for THREE 2011 East Coast Music Awards for his debut full-length album COOPER HATCH PARIS (2010): Male Solo Recording, Alternative Album, and Rising Star of the Year.
COOPER HATCH PARIS is a lush, romantic and ambitious effort from this Halifax Alt-Crooner. It features duets with Canadian pop icon, Chantal Kreviazuk, and Halifax's own Erin Costelo. The 10 song album delves deep into the murky depths of desire and lost love while balancing mystery with light. Playfulness is as much a part of MacGrath's music as is heart-wrenching melancholy. He has blended them beautifully on COOPER HATCH PARIS; it's no wonder that three ECMA nominations have been bestowed upon him - they're just the tip of the iceberg, though. Ryan MacGrath is on the cusp of international acclaim.
