Brenda Linton
In 2009, Linton began a collaboration with musicians and songwriters in North Carolina's Triangle area to record a new album called SPARKLE PLENTY. The fine lyric and narrative writing reflected in SPARKLE PLENTY takes the listener on a journey of diverse moods and locales ranging from an 18th century rice plantation to a late-night bar where regret hangs in the air like smoke. Co-produced by Rick Lassiter, the album also showcases a traditional ballad from Newfoundland and a poignant song by Laura Silvestri about a young woman's search for the grandmother she never met. The first track, “No Reason at All,” has been made into a music video by independent film maker, Michael Babbitt (Bombshell Studios).
Linton is supported on stage by her trio: Dave Smith, acoustic and electric guitars; Rick Lassiter, double bass; and Robert Hudson, drums/percussion. Visit http://www.brendalinton.com for lyrics & tour dates.
The group performed at Quail Ridge in February 2011. Click here for a YouTube video recorded by Joyce Bowden of their song, NO REASON AT ALL.
