Pete McRae (born Robert F. McRae Jr., 1955) is an American rock guitarist.
Biography Born in Austin, Texas, in 1955, McRae and his family moved to California when he was age ten.
In the late 1980s Pete connected Danlee Mitchell, who set him on the path that led to Kraig Grady, and his mentor Erv Wilson. Mr. Mitchell was kind enough to loan Pete one of Harry Partch's own instruments for a period of months, to study and practice. From c. 1988 to 1993 Pete performed in the Los Angeles area with Kraig Grady, playing a purely acoustic music in just intonation. He played percussion on Kraig's fourth CD, The Stolen Stars, among others.
He is currently living and working on his own music in Charlottesville, VA.
