Linda Sussman is an award-winning singer-songwriter whose music is an Americana mix of folk, alternative-folk and blues that digs deep into our shared human experience. Her strong vocals are often compared to Joan Baez, and her versatile guitar style includes open tunings and, at times, a touch of slide. The many stages she has played range from the iconic New York City venues The Bitter End and Kenny’s Castaways to more intimate venues such as Radio Bean in Burlington, VT. Her music is played on radio stations both in the US and abroad and has topped the Roots Music Report’s Alternative-Folk Album Chart more than once. Since 2018, Linda has released five full-length albums and a handful of singles, all of which are available on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, YouTube, etc. [WEBSITE: https://LindaSussman.com]
