Biography

Linda Severt has been a musician since 2nd grade,
a juggler for 22 years, is an accomplished diver,
gymnast, and surfer, and was an East Coast
skateboard champion (1976-1979).

These skills, and more, prepared her for what she has
dedicated her life to for the past 20 years: performing
original solo shows for children and their families.

Coming full circle, Linda's most recent purchases from
the music store were a ukelele and a melodica – the
same instruments she started with back in 2nd grade.
She also sings and plays guitar, concertina, drums,
percussion, and sundry home-made instruments and
sound effects.

In addition to her solo shows, Linda works for New
York's Big Apple Circus Clown Care once a week in
Seattle's Children's Hospital. "We bring sick kids and
their families into the moment, and make them laugh,"
she says, "a challenging and deeply gratifying job."

Linda is also an accomplished singer-songwriter.
