05/09/16 Linda Chorney – Songwriter, Independent Grammy Nominee, TEDx Speaker, Author

Grammy Nominee Chorney made history as the first truly independent artist to get nominated for a Grammy without a label, manager or publicist, for BEST AMERICANA ALBUM “EMOTIONAL JUKEBOX” for the 54th GRAMMY AWARDS. Her nomination was met with some controversy by the gatekeepers. She embraced it, and wrote her first book. Next she’s going for an Oscar to piss them off, too! 

Highlights in her career thus far are singing for Nelson Mandela, in front of a crowd of 250,000 humans. And of course playing in Sports bars where no one is listening. She just released her first book, “Who the F*#% Is Linda Chorney?!”, and is going for the Pulitzer. Sounds quite self-absorbed, wouldn’t you say? Just because it happened to you, doesn’t make it interesting, but sometimes, putting it to music does.
