STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
Linda Draper recently chatted with Guitar Girl Magazine about her new album ππ’π΅πͺπ¦π―π€π¦ π’π―π₯ ππͺπ±π΄π΅πͺπ€π¬, also sharing the new video for the LP-closing acoustic version of her protest song βTether.β As she explains, "The video illustrates how politics and mediaβ¦ [create] cycles of division [that] have repeated themselves throughout time." See it now.
New music from Linda Draper this morning over at The Boot! The acoustic version of Linda's protest song "Tether" closes her new album ππ’π΅πͺπ¦π―π€π¦ π’π―π₯ ππͺπ±π΄π΅πͺπ€π¬, out this Friday.
"Evoking the righteous political folk storytelling of Joan Baez,β the site says, βthe song is a powerful testament to the frustration and mourning many people have experienced throughout the pandemic. Over building fingerstyle guitar and a barebones backing fiddle, Draper's voice takes center stage to express exactly how she feels."
Release show this Friday in Brooklyn at Peteβs Candy Store. RSVP here. ππ’π΅πͺπ¦π―π€π¦ π’π―π₯ ππͺπ±π΄π΅πͺπ€π¬ album pre-save here.
Linda Draper on her latest single "All In Due Time," out today: "As the last couple of years unfolded, the ripple effect of this pandemic has hit people in different ways. I wrote this song with that in mind."

Today in the Orlando Sentinel: Linda Draper talks spontaneity. Like, how about the time she thought it would be fun to learn to line dance, took a line dancing class that evening at Cowboys, and then filmed her first attempts and included them in her new ββ81 Camaroβ video?
Yeah, she did that!
The tune is on Lindaβs upcoming album ππ’π΅πͺπ¦π―π€π¦ π’π―π₯ ππͺπ±π΄π΅πͺπ€π¬, out later this month. Pre-save at https://smarturl.it/y2fm3o.
βIn her charming new video, Linda Draper bids farewell to New York and takes a deep dive into nostalgia and Americana." Gotta give thanks to Rachel over at Adobe and Teardrops for this post of the ββ81 Camaro" video, which depicts that tiny sliver of time this summer when peeps were back to cruising in cars, going to carnivals, and line dancing.
Iβm also partial to Lindaβs selfie acoustic version, where sheβs interrupted by the door buzzer. New album Patience and Lipstick is out January 21!
I love that lyric, too. Linda's a master at this kind of subtle, but emotionally startling, writing. Find the song, video, and a fun acoustic performance here.
