Pete McRae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pete Robert F. McRae was born in Texas and has lived most of his life in California. Pete graduated from Terra Linda High School, in Marin County. In the 1970s he migrated to Los Angeles and became a founding member of "The Kats" (as the world came to know them).
Pete offered his talents to several LA Produced studio recordings, including The Faraghers (Polydor 1979). Pete McRae and Freddy Moore co-wrote and recorded several songs together including: Money, Reason To Live, Pushed Me To It, Wait for the Night, and World All Alone.
McRae has written or co-written 3 songs which are on the album: los angelenos by The Kat Club, due April, 2007.
After the managerial/political debacle of "The Great Lost Kats Album" , Pete went on to become a successful gun-for-hire guitarist and has performed and recorded with a wide range of musical artists ever since.
He went on to work with: Roach and the White Boys, Josey Cotton, Bobbyzio, The Kat Club!, Connie Stevens, Eddie Jobson (Roxy Music; Zappa), Mr. Mister, Peter Kingsbery (Cock Robin), David Baerwald, and Stan Ridgway. McRae also toured with The Rembrandts playing Cello and Mandolin.
Most notable is his guitar work as a session and touring musician. Pete incorporates his distinctive style of guitar and slide into each band's sound.
