Keith McEachern is an American musician and singer-songwriter. He is the frontman and co-founder of the Boston-based band the Wandas.

Notable reviews and press

The Boston Herald stated "[Double Down] shows off shimmering guitars, slinky bass lines, drums, keyboards, harmonies, ace songwriting and production George Martin would smile at." [4]

The Boston Globe said "Pleasant (the second song off Double Down) is a seemingly insular, hushed composition with understated drums and bass, but the introduction of foundation-reverberating guitar swipes halfway through provides a sense of expanding space as eerie multi-tracked vocals color the sky pink and purple." [5]

"In a very real way, [Double Down] casts McEachern as a man out of time, marrying a contemporary indie-rock mix of brightness and melancholy to a classic Brit-pop sensibility with small eruptions of garage rock discord." Telegram & Gazette [6]
