Pop-Americana act McClain moved to Nashville less than a year ago to further pursue a career that was birthed in a kitchen. Songs sung into a microphone held up by two water glasses and recorded on a simple eight-track recorder emerged as a 12 song LP after the request of intrigued individuals from all across the country. Within two months time all three-hundred handmade albums had been sold, and as a result the long time couple begin to explore the option of pursuing music on a larger scale. The decision was made to make the traditional move to “Music City,” and soon after their arrival in Nashville McClain joined forces with Producer Mike Odmark (Tyler James, Aron Wright, Daniel Ellsworth). After several night sessions “The Ivy EP” emerged. The EP is a complete songwriting experience, shifting effortlessly between Americana and Folk originality.
"Fans of Ryan Adams will approve, fans of Johnny Cash will certainly approve, and fans of good music will love McClain. The Ivy EP is one of the strongest debut EPs I've heard from a Nashville-based artist."

"McClain's sweet harmonies, earnest songwriting and warm, full sound invokes memories of artists like Ryan Adams and Eastmountainsouth."

"It’s brilliant...Listen to “Central Park” - it’s the song that would have kept me from abandoning song-writing, had I written it."
