TIME TO DRAW THE LINE


Coming soon! Release date January 24, 2017
	“We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road -- the one less traveled by -- offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.” Rachel Carson With six full-length albums under her belt, songwriter Linq brings her trademark original guitar-based political folk to this single, raising awareness and issuing a call to action to heal our warming planet. Get Time To Draw The Line on CD Baby Note: link will become live on Jan. 24, 2017

EAGLE RESERVE

Eagle Reserve, Linq's new single, is a project of Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust and the Town of Royalston, MA, the Eagle Reserve Conservation Area provides a sanctuary for rare and endangered wildlife including the Bald Eagle and Pied-billed Grebe. Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust partners with landowners to permanently protect farms, woodlands, and natural areas for the benefit of the environment, the economy, and future generations.

Linq was approached last winter by a representative from the Town of Royalston to write a song about the Eagle Reserve. It will be used as the soundtrack in a video of the project, now in production.

Like so many others, Linq took piano as a kid and taught herself the guitar as a young adult, but she made a detour to become a pharmacist. Not just one of those white-coated clerks at a chain store, but at her own store. At the young age of 55, she climbed up on stage, sans the lab coat, and sang for an audience that was so enthusiastic that soon after she sold the pharmacy and made music a focus. With the release of Rx and the Side Effects, she shares some "up close and personal" experiences and stories about our failed healthcare system that only an insider could tell.
Rx and the Side Effects, released on August 25, 2009, was produced by June Millington (Cris Williamson), and features a stellar group of musicians including June on guitar, Jean Millington on bass, Jami Sieber (Ferron) on electric cello, Julie Wolf on keyboards (Dar Williams, Ani Difranco), Ruth Davies on upright bass (Bonnie Raitt) and others.

“Her lyrics challenge listeners the way that Michael Moore challenges viewers.” Ann Forcier, The Recorder, Greenfield, MA She saw Led Zeppelin on their first US tour and loves Joan Baez, but don’t expect some wide-eyed hippie in tie-dye cooing about love and daisies. Sure, if you went to the first Woodstock and you want peace-loving music, you’ve come to the right place, but your kids will also love her refreshingly direct folk-rock with a touch of blues, vintage R&B and yep, even techno, with anthems that’ll make you dance around your living room or call your congress person, some at the same time.
