BIOGRAPHY

'When all the trends fade and become dated, and all the music from the cutting edge becomes dull, Linda McRae will continue to stand tall, singing and playing music with honest soul and humility, cutting through the fog with timeless clarity. Linda is one of the true, soulful pioneers of honest roots music. Her singing and playing brings honor to her heroes and to her friends and fans." - Colin Linden

Canadian singer/songwriter Linda McRae is a multi-instrumentalist, Juno nominated, Platinum and Gold recording artist. After having tenured as bassist, accordionist and vocalist with Canadian Roots group Spirit of the West Linda left the band in 1997 to resume her solo career and has since released three critically acclaimed recordings. Flying Jenny produced by Colin Linden, featured a high-powered roster of Canadian talent and showcased the songs Linda had written while with SOTW. Cryin’ Out Loud produced by Gurf Morlix was pure honky-tonk. Linda's latest release Carve It To The Heart co-produced by Linda and Marc L’Esperance features 10 new songs steeped in the dust bowl traditions as far-reaching as the Canadian Prairie to the heartland of the Appalachian Mountains.

Throughout Linda's career she has received a number of grants and awards and in 2007 she was awarded a prestigious Canada Council Professional Musician's Study Grant affording her the opportunity to study songwriting with Grammy winning Nashville songwriter Jon Vezner and Round Peak clawhammer banjo with renowned aficionado Brad Leftwich. Clawhammer banjo has now become an integral part of her songwriting and is featured prominently in her live shows as well as her recordings. It has also reinforced her love for old-time Appalachian music and she is planning a course of study with rural folk music specialists Ginny Hawker and Tracy Schwarz. Linda was also awarded a Canada Council International Touring Grant and has just returned from her sold-out tour of Europe and Canada as well as appearances at the SXSW Music Conference in Austin.

In the past year her musical journey has taken her to Nashville, TN, where she has generated quite a buzz on the singer-songwriter circuit performing regularly at songwriter venues alongside premiere Nashville writers.

In addition to her busy touring schedule, Linda is currently working on her next recording to be released later this year.

Thanks for the friendship.. Hope you enjoy the music and message behind it. My mission in life is to fight Human Trafficking. understanding the individual pain of others is sometimes to painful for an other individual to touch and that is frightening ...what i mean is that someone whose life is not traumatized and brutalized as a regular sequence of every day events unconsciously seeks the camouflage and shelter of apathy and banality from the reality of such devastating anguish and terror ...but the spirit of young people who are used as sex slaves in the systematized global industry of human trafficking is now reaching out to the human fellowship in hope and desperation and through technology ...it is scary when humanity turns a blind eye to this horror ...its like ignoring genocide whilst it is happening ...what i am asking is that if you hear the cry of these young people who are existing in an environment of torture and brutality each and every day that you then please do not turn away from them ...please reach deeply into your heart and soul and please in 2009 join a movement or become a part of an event that challenges modern slavery in the 21st century ...
