An
unapologetically lyric-forward writer, his words naturally wrap
themselves around his listeners' lives when put to melody. Through
trauma and triumph, music has been his lifelong companion. He writes
what he knows, with each song carrying an undercurrent of darkness in a
river of personal experience. As a kid, McArthur dreamed of becoming the
world's best guitar player, but every time he'd sit down to practice,
he found himself writing a song instead. Two decades later, not much has
changed. Despite packing theaters and garnering critical acclaim for
his captivating live shows, he still considers himself a hardworking
songwriter first.
McArthur built his career the same way
he writes his songs -- by putting in the work to get the muse to visit.
Leaving the family restaurant business to pursue a full-time music
career in 2010, McArthur bootstrapped the release of several singles and
EPs with producers David Bianco (Tom Petty, Lucinda Williams) and Greg Wells (Adele, Taylor Swift, Rufus Wainwright). In 2019, he released his debut LP, Ever Green, Ever Rain, produced by Grammy-winner Ryan Freeland (Ray Lamontagne, Bonnie Raitt), which earned praise from Billboard, American Songwriter, HuffPost, PopMatters, Americana Highways, Cowboys & Indians, Riffs & Rhymes, and Glide who
raved "he treats ears to songs that stray from the obvious, and rewards
ears with a deep-rooted voice reminiscent of Cash, Lightfoot, and
Hansard."
