Tom McRae is a singer-songwriter from the United Kingdom. While growing up in Suffolk his parents were vicars in the Church of England and McRae sang in the choir. His mother played guitar and as a teen, he’d borrow it and began writing songs at 15. At 18 he moved to London to study politics at Guild Hall University, soon forming bands and writing songs. A chance meeting with sound engineer Roger Bechirian led him to a working relationship that shaped McRae’s soft-spoken sound and later landed him a deal with DB records.
Changing his name from Jeremy Thomas McRae Blackall to just Tom McRae - he released his first, self-titled album in 2001, during the height of the new acoustic movement, and gained Mercury Music Prize nomination. His second album, Just Like Blood, was released in February of 2003, which was produced by Ben Hillier, responsible for Elbow’s Asleep In The Back, with which McRae’s album shares a similar melancholy but uplifting atmosphere. In 2004, McRae moved to California where he wrote and recorded his next album, All Maps Welcome, which was released in May 2005. His fourth album, King Of Cards was released on 14th May 2007. A talented live performer, he supported Tori Amos on the UK leg of her Original Sinsuality tour, Paul Weller, Dido, World Party, The Waterboys among others. He is recognised as an intelligent and talented performer, influenced by, among others, Nick Drake, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Jeff Buckley.

I've begin to listen at Tom McRae again, since its autumn, the first time I heard you, was on 2005, when it was cold outside, the track "Ghost of Shark" was on a norwegian movie, called UNO :) I look forward to take a tour in Norway.

@ Seanisonfire : Must inform you, that you take the wrong person, Tom McRae lives, Colin McRae is dead, they just had the same last name, then enjoy music again, to think that the artist stills lives :)
