Odds are you’ve already heard G TOM MAC. His seminal ode to nocturnal night, “Cry Little Sister” (in which he wrote and performed the title track from director Joel Schumacher’s classic film, THE LOST BOYS) still reigns as a perennial cult favorite. The remix of “Cry Little Sister” topped the UK charts and was a #1 CD in Germany.
The song “Half” from the G TOM MAC CD was featured in its entirety for the closing montage of the 2005 season finale of the hit show “Scrubs”
As a testament to G TOM MAC’s diverse music stylings, his songs have been recorded by a wide-range of artists such as KISS (“Is That You”); Ice Cube (“Money Can’t Buy The Love”); Roger Daltrey (produced and wrote the album “Rocks In The Head”); Carly Simon (“Give Me All Night”); Phoebe Snow/Michael McDonald (“Right To The End”); and Vonda Shepard (“Wake Up The House”) just to name a few.
The prolific songwriter has also recorded several solo albums, the most recent, “G TOM MAC” for L.A.’s Edge Artists, and “BLUE RUE” for Arc/Columbia. He’s created WITCHBLADE-THE MUSIC, a compilation of music from the cable-show including his own tracks.
Born in Birmingham, England, G TOM MAC (aka Gerard McMann) spent his early years listening to the Beatles and Stevie Wonder and took his musical inspiration from various pop and R&B artists. His family relocated to New York City when Gerard was 11 and soon moved to Middle America. “I started learning guitar and bass and realizing I had a voice, I started a band which played in clubs all over the Midwest.” Moving back to New York his first gigs in the Big Apple were playing in R&B bands in Harlem.
One thing led to another and Gerard was asked to write songs for other artists. Word spread and Warner Brothers brought him to LA to showcase for the label and write music for films. As fate would have it, in the audience at the Warner Brothers showcase were Hollywood‘s film elite; David Geffen; Joel Schumacher; Cameron Crowe and Jerry Bruckheimer. The showcase proved to be a pivotal turning point in Gerard’s career by featuring G TOM MAC’s songs in top films such as CHASING AMY; THE BANGER SISTERS; THE PLAYERS CLUB; FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH; ALL THE RIGHT MOVES; BORN TO BE WILD and TERMINATOR. G’ songs continue to be widely used in TV series including SCRUBS; CHARMED; THE SHIELD; WITCHBLADE; FELICITY; THE WEST WING; DAWSON’S CREEK; THE X FILES.
