About
Linda McRae is a Canadian, US based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has built a following through amazing albums and a tireless (international) tour schedule. Performing on banjo, guitar and accordion her warm and world-weary voice, unforgettable melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, make McRae a captivating and sought-after artist. Linda has performed in venues as diverse as Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre and New Folsom Prison, where she performs and facilitates writing workshops for the inmates. These experiences lead to the creation of her Express Yourself Writing Workshops currently being presented in detox centres, alternative schools, and youth and adult correctional facilities across North America.
McRae’s work with her therapeutic song-writing workshops has inspired her new album, which is chalk-full of raw, honest reflections on hardship delivered with a rough-hewn authenticity.
"One song breaks your heart, the next one puts it back together" (Fernando Pinto: Promoter, Oddball Events)
