“They instantly displayed their acute acoustic interplay & excellent singing, alone & together, during their trade-off of mostly original songs.” – John Apice, Americana Highways - Review of the Twisters May 2025 Godfrey Daniels Show Amelia White and Linda McRae form Tennessee Twisters, a two-woman vortex of raw storytelling and musical alchemy. The stage becomes a front porch as they render tales both light and dark. You will laugh, cry, and be lifted from your worries. A variety of instruments (banjo, high-strung guitar, and blood-bond harmonies) carry you down a melodic river. Don’t be surprised if lightning strikes. sponsored by WDIY 88.1 FM | wdiy.org LINDA McRAE lindamcrae.com Linda’s love of Canadian, American, and British music early on in her career resulted in multiple band configurations from roots-rock to punk to folk. These bands included the platinum selling group, Spirit of the West. Her deep contribution to the Canadian music scene resulted in her being honoured as a 2016 British Columbia Entertainment Hall of Fame “Pioneer” inductee. Linda manages to bend the rules and the genres proving that stripping a song clean brings one back to their roots. A singer-songwriter musician of the old school with decades of experience you may think you know what Linda McRae is up to. That is until she throws you a curve with a new twist: David Bowie on Banjo?! When Linda steps onto a concert stage, into a recording studio, workshop or mentoring session, there is an effortless passion, a love of what she does and a connection with fans and friendships built and treasured. A multi-instrumentalist Linda works tirelessly as a touring singing songwriter, performing at premiere venues across Canada, the US and Europe while turning out new works. Crucial to Linda’s art is her virtuosic vocal work. Echoes of such artists as The Beatles, Hank Williams Sr, Hazel and Alice, Jean Ritchie, Neil Young and Johnny Cash, are reflected in her work reviving the songs and the senses with a new urgency of spirit and authenticity. McRae has offered seven critically acclaimed solo recordings throughout her years as a solo performer and is featured on multiple artists’ albums. Numerous accolades and top radio charting have landed Linda a Canadian Folk Music nomination for Contemporary Album of The Year for “Rough Edges and Ragged Hearts,” two Escape to Create Residencies in Florida, Winner of the Family Folk Chorale for “Be Your Own Light”. Linda is also highly sought after as a teacher, mentor, juror, panelist and workshop facilitator. And if all that isn’t enough Linda has worked with at risk youth and adults in her Express Yourself Writing Workshops presented across the country at at risk youth facilities, detox, and correctional facilities including New Folsom Prison in California.  AMELIA WHITE ameiliawhite.com Amelia White follows up her breakthrough “Rhythm of the Rain” with “Love I Swore,” Produced by Kim Richey.  “All I wanna do is get up there and sing. I don’t wanna hear about ice on the wing.” And there you have the greatest couplet in history that encapsulates a musicians’ road life. The hazards, fatigue, poverty, all that’s endured just so you can get up in front of people and play your songs. The icy-wing tale “Get to the Show” is a nicely loose rocking paean to the job as a troubadour. “No matter where you are, there’s always somewhere else to go.”, she sings, and she nails it.  Her extraordinary new release “Love I Swore” coming out on 31 Tigers FEB of 2024 is both bracing and sweet. The songs crafted meticulously by producer (and performer in her own right) Kim Richey, who brings out musicality and copious golden backing vocals.  The record is like a quilt in which every square sewn on is a variation from the one next to it. There is some rock and roll, some catchy pop, good country and also a brooding intensity when such is called for.  On “Love I Swore”, whether Amelia White lyrically deals with loneliness, bears deep down about relationships, learns how love is hard work, gives the middle finger to the soul-sucking marriage-killing road life, there is a tongue wedged ever so slightly into her cheek and the record is leavened with lots of simple happiness itself and pure love with no agenda. The partnership with Kim has turned out a record so tuneful, so damn catchy, it’s a war story where joy wins out. With Kim Richey’s forte in vocal harmonies and her extensive knowledge of the structures of what makes a great song, Amelia was fertile ground and Kim worked a mean plow. Without a compromise of Amelia’s honest integrity, “Love I Swore” is, dare say it, accessible. Non-Americana civilians might even warm to this one. Dare to dream. “It’s funny,” Amelia says, “but for me, I’ve been in a long relationship, and I wrote this record in a period where I thought I was going to lose that relationship. So, there’s that theme, keeping love  going when you’re having to re-meet each other every time I return home. I have t
