Singer/songwriter Ryan MacGrath has something for you.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />MacGrath, a Guysborough County native with family currently living in Goshen, has come up with a novel idea for his Christmas campaign, By the Chimney with Care. You may bid to have a personalized Christmas song composed by MacGrath based on your family memories and traditions. It’s a one of a kind gift that can be shared for years to come. The song may also be heard on CBC radio where MacGrath and many other up-and-coming musicians are introduced to a wider audience.<br /><br /><br />MacGrath, a relative newcomer to the Nova Scotian music scene, wanted to give something back to the community this Christmas. Aside from creating a wonderful gift for one special family, he is donating a portion of the proceeds raised from the song to the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia. “I wanted to bring awareness to mental illness. It can be healed and it shouldn’t be something that is experienced alone. It’s very isolating and I would like to try to shed some light on it.” says MacGrath.<br /><br /><br />Born at St. Martha's Hospital in Antigonish, MacGrath spent his childhood between Country Harbour, Antigonish and Goshen. He now calls Halifax home after graduating from NSCAD in 1998. As a university student, he took his student loan and bought a guitar. It looks like it is paying off.<br /><br /><br />In January of 2009, he released a six-song CD, In my own Company, that garnered him two Nova Scotia music award nominations. Since then he has begun to take his music career more seriously. In September, he released his first full-length album, Cooper Hatch Paris. You can catch MacGrath in venues throughout Nova Scotia or maybe even in your own living room. MacGrath is part of the new movement for Open House concerts that has been transforming the live music scene from coast, to coast, to coast.<br /><br /><br />For Goshen folks, MacGrath has expressed an interest in playing at his old school which is now the Goshen Community Centre.

Doing something like this gives you subject matter that you, perhaps, wouldn’t normally touch on and it just kind of makes you go outside of your own comfort zone and exercise that song writing muscle. It is a challenge, but one that I welcome.” <br />MacGrath said he began writing music about 10 years ago. <br />To make a bid go to www.ryanmacgrath.com and click on the By the Chimney with Care link, call 902-233-0784 or email ryanmacgrathmusic@gmail.com. Bidding closes Dec. 8. <br />He added song writing has always been a passion for him. <br /> <br />“It was always, kind of, a hobby for the most part and then about four years ago I had some friends encourage me to try and take it a bit further,” he said. “So I did that and over the last four years I’ve been able to build a full-time career out of it.”MacGrath said he’s heard some positive feedback to this project so far, adding people are excited.“I’m excited to do it, too. I’ve never really written a Christmas song before. I look forward to diving into it.” A portion of the proceeds from the song auction will go to the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia. <br />“As someone who has battled with severe anxiety and who has seen friends and family members suffer from devastating mental illness, I realize the importance of supporting organizations such as the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia,” he said. <br />“They are helping to dissolve the fear that surrounds mental illness, which I believe is the first step to creating awareness and, ultimately, building a community that helps those who suffer.” <br />The musician also released his first full-length album in September, titled Cooper Hatch Paris. The album features East Coast Music Award winning band Gypsophila and a duet with Chantal Kreviazuk. <br />MacGrath will meet with the winner and discuss the song creation. For those living away, a meeting on the phone and shipment of the song will be arranged. <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7741767971945845414-2227261398170051903?l=ryanmacgrath.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ryan MacGrathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14074565559740952429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741767971945845414.post-8779506318715930932010-11-29T19:26:00.001-08:002010-11-29T19:27:43.120-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c6jaqba9XF0/TPRvKGVEipI/AAAAAAAAAGc/jpyRfHCUklg/s1600/bythechimneyrevised.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c6jaqba9XF0/TPRvKGVEipI/AAAAAAAAAGc/jpyRfHCUklg/s400/bythechimneyrevised.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545179260488288914" /></a><br />Bid on this Song Auction and WIN AN AMAZING PERSONALIZED SONG BY RYAN MACGRATH and help the Mental Health Foundation in the process!!!

Not only will MacGrath tour with this new album, but he’ll do it with one of his most admired musicians from when he was growing up: Canadian Folk musician and icon Laura Smith. A household name for many, especially with CBC Radio listeners in the mid-90’s, MacGrath was inspired by Smith’s captivating songwriting and haunting voice as a young musician and it seems that MacGrath has also inspired his mentor- so much so, that she will be accompanying him on this important first celebration and tour of COOPER HATCH PARIS.<br /><br />Smith is looking forward to sharing the limelight with MacGrath and introducing him to the many fans that will await their visits together. The tour begins at Hugh’s Room in Toronto, ON on October 14th and will also be making a stop at The BlackSheep Inn in Wakefield, Quebec on October 21st.

THUMBS UP to a great TOUR....<br /><br />Thanks to everyone that came out to see Ryan MacGrath on this most recent tour of Ryan MacGrath in the month of June. He met so many great people, played with wonderful musicians and is looking forward to doing it all again in the Fall. <br /><br />Here is a great quote we just received from Paul ..owner of The BlackSheep Inn in Wakefield, QC....a venue named as one of the top places to play music in Canada.And it was truly a pleasure!<br /><br />"We love Ryan McGrath at blacksheep. He exemplifies the calibre and style of cabaret performer that we are constantly searching for, and he is clearly one of the next wave of young Canadian musical artists who will soon gain national and international recognition.<br />It is just a matter of time."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7741767971945845414-101155890282285634?l=ryanmacgrath.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ryan MacGrathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14074565559740952429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741767971945845414.post-70975533744488001852010-06-12T09:15:00.000-07:002010-06-12T09:20:32.040-07:00CLICK THE TITLE ABOVE AND Watch and Learn all about fashion, music and how not to spill tea on your lap while conducting and interview...Thanks Heidi for a great chat!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7741767971945845414-7097553374448800185?l=ryanmacgrath.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ryan MacGrathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14074565559740952429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741767971945845414.post-53636126778875116922010-06-02T05:55:00.000-07:002010-06-02T05:59:11.306-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c6jaqba9XF0/TAZVS7qhAEI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/nbmG2-VEKIE/s1600/31081_408843251944_507386944_4623658_1539023_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c6jaqba9XF0/TAZVS7qhAEI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/nbmG2-VEKIE/s400/31081_408843251944_507386944_4623658_1539023_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478159780484808770" /></a><br />Ryan MacGrath is a fashionable guy.

What a beautiful day it was today. We visited the Bicentennial Theatre in Middle Musquodoboit as a scouting trip for an upcoming show there in the late Spring. But not only was the facility wonderful, and the people superb..but there was also a very rare piece of history hanging as a stage curtain by 19th century artist William Gill- the one in the video above. <br /><br />This work was painted in 1892 and is one of very few stage art paintings still surviving in Canada.A rare treat indeed, as many of you know Ryan MacGrath is also a talented visual artist. <br /><br />The day consisted of a beautiful drive to a part of the province none of us have been on. Then we were happily greeted by Andrew and Barb, who took us on a lovely tour of the theatre complete with coffee and delicious cinnamon buns. The day was filled with serendipity, new friends and opportunity.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7741767971945845414-353014599291860975?l=ryanmacgrath.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ryan MacGrathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14074565559740952429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741767971945845414.post-25944453687781517532010-01-06T18:16:00.000-08:002010-01-07T20:46:34.097-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c6jaqba9XF0/S0a4XsiKDtI/AAAAAAAAACg/Kyk8xZEgoVI/s1600-h/ryan6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c6jaqba9XF0/S0a4XsiKDtI/AAAAAAAAACg/Kyk8xZEgoVI/s320/ryan6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424225518445268690" /></a><br />Hi everyone!
