Taina is a Lawrence, Massachusetts native who recently performed here at One Broadway Collaborative for a CD release party. I had a very nice conversation with her about her music, growing up in Lawrence, singing from a young age and inspiration. Have a listen!

Terry Kitchen

was born in New Jersey, and grew up in Easton, PA on the music of the 1960s before moving to small town Findlay, Ohio in the '70s. He attended Occidental College in LA (with Barack Obama) and G.I.T. in Hollywood, then moved to Boston where he played in the '80s rock band Loose Ties (the basis for his novel NEXT BIG THING) before realizing that acoustic music was the most natural setting for his distinctive narrative songwriting.
For the past twenty-five years he has performed on the New England and national folk scenes at clubs and coffeehouses including Club Passim and The Nameless Coffeehouse in Massachusetts, The Postcrypt Coffeehouse and Cafe Lena in New York, Godfrey Daniels in PA and The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, and at festivals including Falcon Ridge, the South Florida Folk Festival, VT Solarfest, and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. He's appeared in 20 states, including Texas, California and Alaska, and Canada. He's released twelve CDs, and his songs have appeared in numerous films. His songs have won the Mid- Atlantic and USA song contests and been runner-up in the John Lennon Song Contest and been recorded by Barbara Kessler, Mara Levine, Rebecca Lynch, Andrew Dunn, and Janet Feld. Terry also leads songwriting workshops and is the coordinator of the NSAI Boston workshop.

Linda Marks
Songs from the heart touch the heart. And as we are touched we feel a full range of feelings, which move us to heal, connect and take meaningful action. Through her original songs and other songs that inspire her to cover them, piano playing singer-songwriter Linda Marks brings her whole heart to music, reaching the heart of the audience. Linda is a multi-genre artist anchored in contemporary folk, integrating elements of jazz, gospel, pop, and Latin in her songwriting arrangements. Over the past decade, she has played many of Boston’s top venues including Scullers Jazz Club, Club Passim, The Burren, City Winery, Club Cafe and Ryles, as well as participating in festivals and performing arts series like the Newton Festival of the Arts, the Rhode Island Folk Festival and the Boston Public Library. Linda has both performed at and written songs especially for fundraisers and non-profits such as Buddy Dog Humane Society, Upstage Lung Cancer, Charity Umbrella and the Cat Connection. She has been featured in the Boston Globe, Boston Magazine and Metrowest Daily News, and on National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered.” Linda has released ten albums, nine with award-winning Doug Hammer of DreamWorld Productions. Her first of two pandemic albums, Monuments Of Love was released at a triple album release concert at the Burren on 8/1/21. Her second pandemic album, Home, was released digitally on 11/25/21, and as a special CD mastered by Grammy award winning sound engineer Glenn Barratt of Morningstar Studios on 01/01/22. Linda is at work on her 2022 album Every Day Legends, and a special folk album in collaboration with Erik Balkey of Hudson Harding Music and Glenn Barratt. Building community through music and the arts has been a lifelong commitment. Linda co-founded artist-alliance group Women In Music Gathering, created the Music Salon as an intimate house concert series in 2014, and pivoted to grow it as an online community during the pandemic, and is a LadyLake Entertainment Artist. To provide upliftment during pandemic times, Linda has been playing a weekly lifestream, "Songs From The Heart, Meditations For The Heart" on her personal Facebook pages since March 2020.
