" Linda has an amazing voice"  is a regular comment heard from listeners. 
Linda Boyle is a Chicago singer, song writer.  For forty years she has been sharing songs and their stories to folks of all ages.  She has been a strolling singer-guitarist in restaurants, performed at neighborhood clubs, presented programs at schools, universities, cultural institutions and performed at festivals.

  Her researched and collected songs are those that represent the lives of our children, ourselves, our elders, and the lives and contributions of women, social justice activists and workers throughout history.

  Linda's musical style encompasses Blues, progressive-folk, traditional, country, Nueva Cancion, jazz, and women's music,  including songs in Spanish, Portuguese, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic, Hebrew, Yiddish and Kiswahili. She is also a Special Education, Spanish and U.S. History teacher and is involved in Reading instruction.

Programs can be tailored to meet the interests of the audience. She performs, produces concerts, emcees, lectures, and gives keynote speeches and workshops for any group from grammar school children to community, professional, and academic organizations. Linda performs solo, but performances with other musicians are available.

   In 2005, friends and neighbors Lin and Dennis began performing together.  Their love for folk, Blues, folk-rock, jazz,  and World music  is combined with  Dennis'  rich acoustic and electric guitar leads, bass guitar and percussion , a great compliment to Lin's rhythm guitar.  His creative playing adds zest and  a unique approach to traditional as well as  contemporary and original songs. Together they  perform in clubs, restaurants, community events and  festivals.

     Their Brave Songs/Cantos Bravos CD will be released in fall, 2011.  This recording honors folks of all ages who have shown true bravery through their work, struggles and sacrifices for human rights and social justice.  See the page for upcoming performances.  For more information on Brave Songs and other recordings see  the page.
