The Eastern (NZ) at Feather & Drum HQ
About
Back by popular demand, Adam McGrath is returning to F&D HQ with his world class band "The Eastern."The Eastern are a string band that roars like a punk band, swings like a gospel band, drinks like a country band. That works like a bar band, hopes like folk singers, and sings love songs like union songs. Writes union songs like love songs, and wants to slow dance and stand on tables, all at the same time. Four albums and well over 1000 shows deep The Eastern have played and toured with Fleetwood Mac, Steve Earle and Old Crow Medicine Show amongst others, ticking off miles, countries and new friends and fans wherever they get to roaming.
‘No Depression’ magazine noted they were “One of the best modern roots acts, from any country”. Both Radio NZ and the NZ Herald described them as “National Treasures” and The Heralds Graham Reid called singer Adam McGrath “NZ’s toughest minded songwriter”. NZ country legend Barry Saunders simply called them “The Truth.”
