LEAD VOCALIST
Linda Carmichael was born and raised in Indianapolis,Indiana. She had her first professional singing performance at age five. At fifteen, Linda began voice training and continued studying classical music, mainly opera, for seven years. When she was eighteen, Linda was the youngest singer ever to be accepted into the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir. She also sang in a Bach Choir as well as a professional Madrigal group. Next, she expanded her singing style by doing some musical theatre. That lead to more popular music. While singing with a band for fun in downtown Indianapolis, Linda was discovered by Pete Brady. He had a five-piece band that performed in the Tampa Bay area. Linda's first job with Pete Brady's band was the opening of the Holiday Inn on Clearwater Beach. Next, Linda was in a popular band in the area at the time, called, "Dark, Tan and Lovely". They went on to open for Tiny Tim at Bayfront Center and cut an album. Many bands would follow from duos to five-pieces. Linda even did a single act for a while before joining the "Bob Werner Band". To name the clubs Linda has played would take too many pages. Linda was asked to perform/sing on the "Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson and "The Phil Donahue Show". Linda was not able to perform. Let's just say she has performed in many, many top clubs and country clubs in the area. A little over a year ago, Linda joined, " Ron And The Classics". The group was right up her ally, because she has been known for sounding very much like Connie Francis, singing "Where the Boys Are" and Karen Carpenter, singing anything by the Carpenters. It was a perfect match because Linda loves the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's music, and the band loves Linda's vocal abilities and the harmonys she adds to the already vocally powerful group.
