Linda Eder
Linda Eder
Showcasing one of the greatest voices of our time, Linda Eder’s diverse
repertoire spans Broadway, Standards, Pop, Country, and Jazz. When she
performs “live” in concert, it is amazing to experience the ease with which
she moves back and forth from one genre to another as if she were gifted
with the vocal ability to perform each genre as well as all the others. Born in
Tucson, Arizona and raised in Brainerd, Minnesota, Eder began her career
right out of high school singing all around her home state, and she eventually
landed a gig at Harrah’s Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. But it was her
appearance on the 1987 season of “Star Search,” during which she won for
an unprecedented 12 straight weeks, which attracted the attention of
audiences and record companies alike.
She has appeared on television numerous times. TrailMIX, her prime time
Animal Planet special about singers with a passion for horses, was a natural
extension of her love for animals and featured Linda interviewing fellow
recording artists and performers Sheryl Crow, Mary Chapin Carpenter,Irish
tenor Ronan Tynan, Rob Thomas, and Aerosmith’s Joe Perry. She has been
featured on numerous PBS television concert specials including Clay Aiken’s
Tried & True, Hallelujah Broadway, Linda Eder: The PBS Concert, Best
ofBroadway: Broadway The Leading Ladies, Best of Broadway: The Love
Songs, Jim Brickman Plays The Disney Songbook, and more. Her 2001 Holiday
Concert, Christmas Stays the Same, was broadcast on Bravo TV and
continues to be a popular selling DVD.
The concert stage remains the mainstay of Eder’s career. She has
performed for sold-out crowds in venues across the country and throughout
Europe. She has performed at many prestigious venues such as Carnegie
Hall,Kennedy Center, The Palace Theatre, Radio City Music Hall, Wolftrap,
New York City’s Town Hall, Davies Hall, among many others. Always touring in
great company, her collaborators have included the late Oscar-winning
composer and pianist Marvin Hamlisch, Emmy and Grammy winner Michael
Feinstein, and conductor of the Boston Pops Keith Lockhart. Eder is happiest
on stage singing for her audiences and spreading the joy she exudes.
