McCarthy Trenching - McCarthy Trenching

Home » m » McCarthy Trenching » Album» McCarthy Trenching

Dan McCarthy has spent the past five years playing and touring with his friends’ bands, including Mayday, Neva Dinova, The Good Life, Orenda Fink, Maria Taylor, Bright Eyes and others. He has also been heard on a number of Nebraska bands’ recordings, from Cursive’s “Happy Hollow” (playing piano) to Tilly and the Wall’s “Bottoms of Barrels” (playing accordion).

McCarthy Trenching is not what he does on the side; it’s what he does all the time.

McCarthy Trenching’s self-titled album is the distillation of two collections of songs. Old Habits, recorded in November of 2003 by Ted Stevens, was a self-released nine-song collection of drinking songs and waltzes. The dipsomaniacal It’s Got Nothing to Do with the Drinking was recorded in the winter of 2005-2006, and had been given to only a handful of family and friends before Team Love expressed interest in releasing a ‘best of what you’ve put on tape so far.’

Collaborators include Ted Stevens, Ryan Fox, Pat Oakes, Tim Kasher, Orenda Fink, Adrianne Verhoeven, Steve Bartolomei, Alex McManus, Bill Hoover, Renee Ledesma Hoover, and Mark Maziarz.
