'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
Linda is a Canadian Recording Artist and multi-instrumentalist who, during her tenure as bassist/accordionist with former Canadian Celtic/Roots group Spirit of the West, earned a Juno nomination and 2 Platinum and 3 Gold recordings. Linda left the band in 1997 to resume her solo career and has since released three critically acclaimed Folk/Roots recordings. Flying Jenny produced by Colin Linden, Cryin’ Out Loud produced by Gurf Morlix ) and Linda's current release Carve It To The Heart produced by Linda and Marc L’Esperance. All have received the highest praise from reviewers nationally as well as internationally.
Linda has studied songwriting with Grammy winning songwriter Jon Vezner and clawhammer banjo aficionado Brad Leftwich blues finger style guitar with Juno winner Ken Hamm.
Linda's busy tour schedule reflects her love for performing having completed 200 shows last year alone. She is a compelling entertainer and her personality and storytelling add an intimacy to her shows regardless of the size of venue. Her evocative and powerful voice is well supported with the addition of her acoustic finger-style and flat picked rhythm guitar, clawhammer banjo, and Porchboard bass.
In addition to her busy touring schedule, Linda writes a monthly column for BC Musician Magazine entitled "This Winding Road" and is currently working on her next recording.
