A folk singer/songwriter ‘stationed wherever I land’, McGrath is at home with bluegrass, blues, country and rock’n’roll as much as folk and is known for the intensity, passion, love and humour of his performances.
This time he’s joined by a small but mighty rhythm section, The Roaring Days.
He’s been described by RNZ and the NZ Herald as a national treasure; Barry Saunders of The Warratahs sums him up simply as ‘the truth’.

The trust receives funding from Creative New Zealand as well as support from Central Lakes Trust, Community Trust of Southland, Interislander, Otago Community Trust, Rata Foundation and the Southern Trust. AOTNZ liaises with local arts councils, repertory theatres and community groups to bring the best of musical and theatrical talent to country districts. The AOTNZ programme is environmentally sustainable – artists travel to their audiences rather than the reverse.
