    The Grist Mill and Gardens 2691 Upper Bench Road, Keremeos, British Columbia, Canada

    Pure substance. Unbridled and fully realized talent, Nashville based multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter Linda McRae is an experienced recording artist and songwriting instructor. From her days with the iconic Platinum recording Canadian Celtic band, Spirit of the West, to everything she has done since, Linda remains an artist full of integrity. Playing banjo, guitar and accordion in an unflaggingly authentic, deeply satisfying, and refreshingly acoustic style with a big dose of soul and skilled musicality, McRae’s unforgettable melodies and thought-provoking lyrics make her a captivating artist. She has performed in venues as diverse as the Orpheum Theatre with the Vancouver Symphony to New Folsom Prison with the “in house blues band” where she facilitates writing workshops for the inmates. These experiences lead to the creation of her Express Yourself Writing Workshops currently being presented in North American correctional institutions and at-risk youth facilities.
