Linda & Jessica's voices melt together as they sing their soulful blues, rock together or accompanied by some of Colorado's best musicians. Together they can rock the house! With the soul of the blues and a fiery passion for life, Linda Storey's music is fueled with a contagious belief that one must never give up, no matter what trials or tribulations one has suffered. From the whimsy of "It's That Easy" to the emotional intensity of "House of Love and Harmony", Linda's music creates an uplifting energy. |
