Biography

Born in Champaign-Urbana, IL, in 1977, singer/songwriter Cameron McGill credits his dad's record collection for sparking his musical interest. Childhood years spent listening to the Beach Boys, Neil Young, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash left an impression, and by the time he was in high school, McGill was playing guitar and writing songs. In 1998, McGill moved to Chicago after graduating from the University of Illinois. After playing the coffeehouse/bar scene for two years, he formed Morris Minors with Paul Callen and Gabe Grout. The band issued a self-titled EP in 2002 before calling it quits a year later. McGill went solo and issued Stories of the Knife and the Back on his own Post-Important label in fall 2003. Additional solo tours in and around North America followed into 2004 as well as worldwide dates with Rachael Yamagata and Tom McRae. McGill's second album, Street Ballads & Murderesques, was released in January 2006.
