  • The Band That Became Spirit of the West Began As a Folk Trio Called Evesdropper in Vancouver Nearly 30 Years Ago. 13 Albums
    The band that became Spirit of the West began as a Folk trio called Evesdropper in Vancouver nearly 30 years ago. 13 albums later, they have achieved status as one of the most beloved ‘Legacy Artists’ in Canadian history, having proven themselves to be road-worthy, durable, having toured Canada, the US, UK and Europe consistently, building a dedicated following of fans from all over the world. They have been inducted into the Halls of Fame / Lifetime Achievement Categories by the Western Canadian Music Association and the Society of Composers and Music Publishers of Canada, and have used their inestimable charms to wheedle complimentary pints out of barmen in at least 9 countries. With four gold and two platinum albums to their credit, Spirit of the West are responsible for such songs as: ‘(And if) Venice is Sinking’, ‘Five Free Minutes’, ‘Save This House’, ‘The Crawl’ and ‘Home For a Rest’, the song that has been called Canada’s honorary national anthem:. ‘Spirituality: A Consummate Compendium’, a double CD album on Rhino Records, is the band’s most recent release and is a look back at the first 25 years of their career. The band is: John Mann, Guitarist, vocalist and charismatic front man. John is also an accomplished actor who can be seen on episodic television and movies often pretending to be an assassin, ghost, devil, redneck, spy, and other characters that simply don’t scan if you know this vegetarian peacenik. List of both big & small screen appearances as well as starring roles in live theatre far too numerous to mention here.

  • PRESS KIT – LINDA Mcrae Shadow Trails Borealis Records 42RPM
    PRESS KIT – LINDA McRAE Shadow Trails Borealis Records 42RPM LINDA MCRAE – BIOGRAPHY New Folsom Prison provides the starting point for new Linda McRae album California’s Folsom State Prison occupies a hallowed place in the history of country music. As the location of several Johnny Cash performances and the subject of his song “Folsom Prison Blues,” it has become a symbol of the “outlaw” element of outlaw country. Now, some 60 years after Cash first put it on the map, the California State Prison complex has had a transformational impact on another country roots musician: Canada’s Linda McRae. After answering a call to host a song-writing workshop at New Folsom in 2011, McRae and her husband, James Whitmire, were moved to develop song-writing workshops for at-risk youth – to try and prevent them from ending up behind bars in the first place. Her new, Steve Dawson- produced album, Shadow Trails, is inspired by that work. Though perhaps best-known for her eight-year tenure as a member of the platinum-selling band Spirit of the West, Linda McRae had already raised a daughter and performed for more than ten years with west coast punk and roots outfits before joining Spirit. In fact, the band members were regulars at shows by her previous roots rock band, Terminal City. She joined Spirit in 1988 and is heard prominently on two of its most famous and enduring songs, “Home for a Rest” and “If Venice is Sinking.” In 1995, she and the band performed and recorded with Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and released the resulting recording, Open Heart Symphony.The following year, she left the Spirit to launch a solo career and has been charting at folk and roots radio ever since.

  • The Spirit of Spirit of the West: John Mann in an Intimate Solo Concert
    FROM: CHILLIWACK ARTS & CULTURAL CENTRE SOCIETY 9201 Corbould Street, Chilliwack BC V2P 4A6 Contact: Ann Goudswaard, Marketing Manager T: 604.392.8000, ext.103 E: [email protected] W: www.chilliwackculturalcentre.com March 30, 2015 High Resolution photo: JohnMann_press Photo Description: John Mann tour poster image Photo Credit: – artwork by Emily Cooper FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE SPIRIT OF SPIRIT OF THE WEST: JOHN MANN IN AN INTIMATE SOLO CONCERT John Mann is best known as the lead singer of iconic Canadian rock band Spirit of the West, but it comes as no surprise that he’s also a powerhouse in his own right. When this masterful musician comes to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on April 17, he will create an intimate and powerful atmosphere filled with passion, dedication, and pure talent. It’s a tale of hardship, hard-won happiness, and acceptance – and it’s certainly a show you won’t want to miss. Mann has released three albums as a solo artist, creating a collection of softer and more intimate songs than found in Spirit of the West’s repertoire – but still full of the vim and vigor found in legendary rock anthem “Home for a Rest” that first brought the band to fame. These solo albums – the latest released just last year – highlight Mann’s soulfulness and introspectiveness as a solo artist while documenting his journey to a more positive existence. After coming to grips with giant obstacles in his personal life – a battle with cancer and adjusting to life with early onset Alzheimer’s – this renowned singer and songwriter remains dedicated and passionate about his music.
