I played with Brenda in the folk-rock band, Warm, 1970 - 1972.  Over the years, her voice has matured into an even richer sounding instrument than it was in those golden-throated days of the early '70s.  She has one of those voices that is not just good, but unique.  No mere Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, or Bonnie Raitt clone, no sir, once you hear her voice, you're hooked.

Brenda and I toured Ireland May 4-22, 2006.  This tour was made possible by our good friend Johnny Gallagher, a great guitarist from Bundoran, County Donegal and Steve McGover of Cootehall.  Please visit Johnny's website at http://www.johnnygallagher.com where you can lean more about Johnny Gallagher and his band Boxtie.


From a promotional brochure -
Brenda Linton has been writing, playing, and recording music for over thirty years.  She works in a variety of performance venues including clubs & restaurants, festivals, musical theater productions, and literary and community development events. In the studio, Brenda has recorded demos for songwriters, radio commercials and advertising jingles, and supporting vocals for other musicians, including an Elvis impersonator. While living in Nashville, Tennessee, she formed a band called Brenda Linton and Shadowfax to perform and market her songs. For the past decade, she has been a member of the Angelettes, a three-woman group with a reputation for ethereal harmonies.

Brenda loves interesting music from any genre and knows a good song when she hears one. In addition to her own songs, Brenda plays a varied repertoire of blues and jazz tunes, traditional American and Celtic music, and her own arrangements of works by gifted songwriters such as Mark Knopfler, Richard Thompson, Shawn Colvin, and Seal.

She loves in particular to write and sing about love and lust, relationships gone wrong, death, irony, and the “aha” moment. She has just released her 2nd CD.

In small venues, Brenda’s acoustic guitar, piano, and vocals are supported by Robert Hudson on percussion. In larger venues and music festivals, Brenda enlists the help of The LinTones - a talented group of North Carolina musicians - as well as special guest performers.
