A multi-Instrumentalist, Songwriter, Hair Stylist and Retro-Vintage Aficionado, this iconic and stylish gentleman is most recently known as keyboardist/guitarist for Dublin alt-rock heroes The Pale. Indeed, Ger has been a mainstay of the Irish music scene for many years as a member of Premonition (EMI), Las Vegas Basement (Columbia), Les Marionettes, Pugwash, The Carnival Brothers and many solo and collaborative recordings. Throughout this time he also recorded and toured extensively with, among others, Mundy, Duke Special, Jack L and Fionn Regan, playing everywhere from Glastonbury Festival to the 'Later With Jools Holland' TV Show. "A beautiful slice of Scott Walker-esque pop" - Mike Scott (The Waterboys). "Ger's music serves both as a fillip on dark mornings and a lustrous affirmation that the acceptance of the onward passage of time need not be a distressing feeling" - Cathal Coughlan. "Hollow could be one of those 'undiscovered' Beach Boys tracks that seem to surface every 6 months or so, trust me here, this song is going to make your day" - Pat Carty (Hot Press). "Hollow takes you to a very special place...there's shades of Jimmy Webb, a taste of Prefab Sprout, but still distinctively Ger Eaton, a beautiful piece of music" - Martin Bridgeman (KCLR Radio). "Hollow is beautiful...The world will be hearing a lot more from him" - Fiachna O Braonain (RTE Radio1). "Virtually everything at play here is top notch. The mix is rich, and considering how many elements there are, surprisingly clean" - Two Story Melody (USA)
