Tom McRae (born Jeremy Thomas McRae Blackall, 1969, Chelmsford) is a British singer-songwriter whose self-titled 2000 debut earned nominations for the Mercury Prize, a BRIT Award and a Q Award. The son of two Church of England vicars, he taught himself guitar on his mother's instrument and has since built a catalogue of ten studio albums. Alongside his own work he has written for artists including Marianne Faithfull and regularly composes for orchestras across Europe. His debut went gold in France, and since 2021 he has divided his time between Paris and Wiltshire.
McRae released the single 'Kick It All Into The Fire' via his own Buzzard Tree Records, as a precursor to his 25-year anniversary tour with full band.
The album 'Étrange Hiver' was released on 1 March 2024: eleven original duets with French artists such as Keren Ann, Alex Beaupain and Clou, recorded in Paris.
McRae toured Belgium and France in spring 2024 to promote 'Étrange Hiver', followed by a UK tour in autumn.
