Linq is an edgy, emotional, often political singer/songwriter. A serendipitous series of events propelled her out of a career as a pharmacist and pharmacy owner onto an exciting musical path. Her songs are a unique blend of folk and rock, with an occasional touch of blues, funk, and even techno. Using life's tough experiences, Linq is not afraid to tackle controversial issues, and brings a strong, reasoned voice to whatever topic she addresses, including war, racism, homophobia, health care, and the environment.
At an age when many look forward to retirement, Linq is kicking it up, cranking it out, and defying stereotypes. This singer-songwriter's music is fresh, uncompromising, decidedly un-stodgy, and lush with life experience. She's passionate about touching lives and making a positive difference in the world. One of the most striking things about her music is the amount of joy and enthusiasm she exudes in spite of her edgy tunes and topics. Linq came of age in the 60's. Her music harkens to roots in the popular music of that time with its political folk, psychedelic rock, and social conscience. Harkens but doesn't duplicate. This is a woman who has found her groove: strongly vulnerable, irresistibly passionate, and dynamically humanistic.
Linq's music has also captured attention and won her several awards. Her first health care song, Tired, was awarded an Honorable Mention in the 2006 International Narrative Song Competition (INSC), Change the Picture was a nominee in the 2009 Political Song Category in the Just Plain Folks Music Awards, largest in the world, and she was voted OUTstanding OUTmusican in 2011 at the 7th OUTmusic Awards for Oh Bully.
No one is born a racist or a bully, we learn those things from others, and we can unlearn them too. By examining the sources of hatred we gain the tools to make positive change. This track was a finalist in the Political Song category in the 2009 Just Plain Folks Music Awards. Female Vocals, Rock, Folk Rock
A cautionary tale about our fascination with modern technology. Take a peek at some typical 21st-century stories driven by drums, bass, tambourine, shaker and tasteful effects. The upbeat vocals and harmonies make the track a good fit for radio, talk show bumpers, film, television, and more. Female Vocals, Rock, Folk Rock
Diversity Dance is a celebration of all that we are. With a thundering retro-disco bass and funky guitar, you’ll want to shake your booty to You can dance if you’re straight / You can dance if you’re gay /Transsexual too / And bisexuality is cool / It doubles the dating pool. Female Vocals, Rock, Pop Rock
Upbeat song about using the wisdom of life experience to work together for peace. Using a train as metaphor, the artist encourages the listener to come along and participate in positive change. All aboard. Female Vocals, Rock, Boogie Rock

Concerned about the dangers of nuclear power? This song's for you complete with cymbal swells, well-placed electric guitar embellishments and a timely wake-up call. The clock is ticking. Great fit for documentaries, films and radio shows that address the topic. Female Vocals, Rock, Folk Rock
A bluesy song of unrequited love with a waltz tempo. The narrator has met someone who sparks an instant desire, but the object of that desire is only visiting the area and after the one chance meeting is gone, showing the difficulty single people have meeting the right person. Filled with longing. Female Vocals, Rock, Blues Rock
The next time you call a company and get an automated system, listen to “No Person on the Line” a few times and vent with Linq. This former pharmacist spent plenty of time wandering through the voice mail systems of the health insurance industry, often to no avail! Best healthcare rage song ever. Female Vocals, Rock, 50s Rock
Linq, a former pharmacist, takes on the pharmaceutical industry’s aggressive marketing machine as only an insider can. This upbeat 60’s rock tune comes complete with doo wop vocals: “It’s the American Way / We can all feel better, take some drugs today.”, Female Vocals, Rock, 60s Rock
The light-hearted Route 32 Blues sounds like it belongs on an old AM radio, with its rootsy rock feel. It’s a cautionary but humorous tale about why you should drive slowly on Route 32. Female Vocals, Rock, Blues Rock
