SHORT BIO
LINDA SUSSMAN is an award-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist whose alternative-folk and blues music is equal parts uplifting, bluesy, gritty, soothing and anthemic — all the ingredients one would expect from a seasoned artist. Linda’s vocals are often compared to Joan Baez, her songwriting is reminiscent of Joni Mitchell, while her self-taught guitar style leans into open tunings, strong fingerstyle and a bit of acoustic slide.
Linda has been featured on WFUV John Platt’s On Your Radar series, while the many venues she has played range from NYC's iconic The Bitter End and Kenny's Castaways to the Long Island Music Hall of Fame to the Jeanne Rimsky Theater to Vermont's more intimate Radio Bean. Despite landing in a forced 10-yr hiatus, Linda returned in 2017 and since 2018 has released six full-length albums with her studio musicians. Linda's music is widely celebrated on the roots music and alt-folk charts and played on radio internationally.

There's a million ways for us to sing
Oh _ let freedom ring
Our trust in each other is everything"

"Every closet shields a pain
Protects our deepest fear
But darkness simply harbors rust
Where salt runs into tears"

Find a line and settle in
Pull up a chair to the melody
Let it play over … and over again"
