Homegrown, 2012

Growing out of a year-long series of house shows, The McMakens hit the studio for this self-produced full-length follow-up to their 2009 record Sleep Easy. Recorded in tandem with Dan Fager’s debut EP, this album combines the intimacy and excitement of seeing The McMakens and their band live (track #8, Baby, You Are Mine was actually recorded live at a house show in June of 2011) with the careful arranging and subtlety that characterizes their songwriting.

In Wilderness and Glory, EP, 2012

This collection of six original tracks by The McMakens is a journey through the calendar of the church year including songs for Advent, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost.

Sleep Easy, 2009

“Sleep Easy” is the full-length debut album from The McMakens. Featuring “Waltz,” “Windy City,” and “Mockingbird,” these nine original songs and two folk arrangements capture this duo’s timeless songwriting, lush instrumentation, and evocative vocals. “Mockingbird” was featured on The Indie Handbook’s list of ”Best Songs of 2009.”
