About Francis McGrath

Francis McGrath has been playing piano since 1982. He has performed solo all over Austin: at restaurants, hotels, bars, coffee shops, airports, nursing homes, real estate open houses, grocery stores, landfills, book shops, and private parties.

Since 1987, he has also played keyboards/synthesizers in dozens of bands, including rock, pop, jazz, folk, singer-songwriters, Celtic, and even TV theme songs.

He has self-produced and recorded three albums, scored a featured film, written a musical, orchestrated another musical, and won the O Henry Punoff twice.

Besides his musical endeavors, he also has a lifetime of experience in education. As a certified teacher, he taught math for several years before serving the University of Texas as a programmer for a few decades.

He believes that we “play” music, not “work” music. It is supposed to be fun and joyous. Listening to each student and finding their goals creates a great path to get them to their dreams.
