Linda Tillery's 70th Birthday (and Album Release) Extravaganza! @ Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse
Please join us for two nights of musical magic as Linda celebrates her 70th birthday and the release of her new CD, "It's A Mighty World." Linda has invited a few of her favorite artists to collaborate with on stage.
Sept. 7th - Venezuelan Music Project, Cultural Heritage Choir, Kugelplex and MC Diane Amos will keep you smiling and laughing with her wry wit.
Sept. 8h - Eric Bibb, Brett "Jailbait" Brandstatt and Yours Truly will serve up some Blues and Roots music to massage the senses and stir the soul. Plus special, surprise guest.
"Linda's career began in 1967 as lead singer of the Berkeley based, psychedelic soul band, Loading Zone. Since those early days she has collaborated as vocalist and percussionist on more than eighty recordings with the likes of Santana, Huey Lewis and the News, The Whispers, Taj Mahal, Kenny and Pete and Sheila Escovedo. She was both artist and producer at Olivia Records, was a founding member of Bobby McFerrin's Voicestra, and founded Linda Tillery and the Cultural Heritage Choir. Linda's journey is a true representation of the Bay Area music scene - through psychedelic 60's soul, groundbreaking 70's activism, 80's R&B glitz, numerous cross cultural collaborations and since 1990, her exploration into the roots of the African American music experience. Now, in 2018, she is at the height of her musical powers, continuing her adventures in sound, and exploring what it means to be a local legend.
