About Linda- Linda started singing at the age of six in Portland's Grace & Truth Pentecostal Church, a church pastored by her father. She has thrilled audiences in the Pacific Northwest, Europe, Canada and across the U.S. She has toured and/or recorded with national recording artists Quarterflash, Nu-Shooz, and Dan Reed. She later became lead vocalist for the high profile Motown revue, Body & Soul and in 1992 became the driving force for the blues act Linda Hornbuckle & the No DeLay Band. In recent years Linda has performed regularly and recorded in a duo with award-winning pianist Janice Scroggins, as well as with the Linda Hornbuckle Band, firmly establishing herself as The Northwest's #1 Soul Sister. She has performed at scores of benefits for causes and issues, most recently Brian Grant's "Shake It 'til We Make It" Parkinson's fundraiser. By day, Linda is a Community Health Specialist for The Multnomah County Health Department, working with teens about health issues that effect them, such as HIV, sexually transmitted disease and teen pregnancy.
