Ryan MacGrath goes to the ‘EastSide’

Musician Ryan MacGrath may be living in Austria, but his music has a global audience. This time, it’s heading down to Los Angeles, via the webseries “EastSiders.”

The series tells the story of a couple dealing with infidelity and is the brainchild of Kit Williamson. Williamson went to Kickstarter for funding and found many a fan. So much so that he wrote about the immense outpouring of support at The Huffington Post.

One fan who really liked the series was MacGrath. “We contacted the writer/director to show support,” he says via email. “I gave him some links to my music, and he really liked my stuff! A couple of months later, I got an email from him saying that he would like to use two songs for the show.”

Kudos and congrats to MacGrath. The series is due to go live on logotv.com on April 23.
