Linda Chorney
Linda Chorney is the poster child of the independent singer-songwriter. Chorney made history as the first independent artist nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Americana Album, Emotional Jukebox, in 2012. Since then, she has become an award winning filmmaker, with multi-award winning biopic, When I Sing, released on Amazon; and documentary, The Opening Act, as well as comedy series, Saving Bernie on Vimeo.
Chorney has been a featured speaker at TEDx, Sundance, NAMM, Berklee's ReThink Music, and awarded Tucson's Woman of Influence for Arts and Culture in 2017.
Linda has contributed charitable work and performances for The Boys and Girls Clubs, The USVA, Light of Day Foundation, and Where Angels Play Foundation. In addition, her humanitarian efforts have helped erect the Martin Richard Statue from the Boston Marathon Tragedy.
Chorney's inspiring, humorous, and informative talks about the music business as an independent artist, in addition to receiving critical acclaim, are like a giant entertaining therapy session.
Chorney has performed on all seven continents, for crowds of up to 250 thousand, for Nelson Mandela, and in sports bars where the cheers are louder for the touchdowns. She has shared the stage and/or opened for Bruce Springsteen, The Beach Boys, Michael McDonald, Train, Sheryl Crow, Paul Simon, Jackson Browne, Air Supply, Pat Benatar, CSN, and Dave Mason.
