January 2, 2024Linda Brings the Party for NYEE
Linda McKenzie and Steve Upfold were the life of my New Year's Eve Eve Party. They arrived early for set up and then went with the flow the entire evening, providing a varied and spontaneous selection of songs. Both Linda & Steve mingled and interacted with party guests. It was as if they were simply additional guests that everyone wanted to meet. I will have Linda and Steve back for sure. Happy New Year!

About
Linda is a passionate life long singer-songwriter/guitarist who credits the blues and 70-80's popular music as her primary musical influences. With a mix of older classics & newer cover songs ... Linda throws a little cowgirl music into the mix, laughingly referring to herself as a "cowgirl without a horse". Linda holds her own with just a guitar and her voice. Heard nationally on radio spots for companies like Sheraton Hotels and National Car Rentals, Linda voice has been used commercially as well as on countless Nashville songwriter demos. A former staff writer with Nashville's Southern Writers Group, Linda’s music consistently appears in top 10 independent music charts (such as ReverbNation, Broadjam, RadioAirplay and more). Her first album "Along The Way" was released in June 2016 and has garnered fans from around the globe, receiving international airplay on both land line & digital radio stations. Linda currently makes her home between Nashville Tennessee and Red Lodge, Montana, the 2 places in the world she feels most at home. "Music can take you places you normally would never go" says Linda, "and that includes the emotional journey in addition to the physical travel ... to be accurate". Always writing, always recording and always performing, Linda is ready to entertain your guests and can design a musical setlist tailored to your theme or event needs. As an ASCAP writer, Linda dedicates a portion of her song royalties to non profits who align with her musical messages. Listen to Linda's music and we think you'll become a fan too!
You can find Linda's music anywhere music is streamed online.
