(25 years) Solo - Tom McRae

With no fewer than ten albums and three live albums, Tom McRae is one of the most influential British singer-songwriters of the past 25 years. McRae released his - with a Mercury Prize and Brit Award nominated - self-titled debut in 2000. Since then, he has collected an oeuvre with some of the best songs from British folk and alternative music. He is also on a never-ending world tour, where he has a thing for the European mainland. With songs like The boy with the bubblegum and You cut her hair, McRae has built a solid live reputation here since his golden debut. But McRae also performs as a songwriter for other artists, including for Marianne Faithfull for her album Give my love to London from 2014. And a few years ago he had a hit in this country with the beautiful duet Bloodless, together with Wannes Capelle. Maar Tom McRae remains primarily an exceptional performer who succeeds like no other in building a special bond with his audience. With a reputation for intense, moving live shows and dry humor full of self-mockery, this promises to be an unforgettable evening for his fans, and for everyone who can appreciate, say, Elbow, David Gray and Damien Rice.
