Linda Michelet
Waterfront Blues Festival
Tom McCall Waterfront Park
Portland, OR.
July 3, 2005
Recorded from KBOO FM, a local all volunteer radio station. There is some inherent reception problems scattered throughout these recordings. The station is not very powerful and the team had some problems on the first day of the festival getting everything "plugged in". All in all some great music with a few tolerable "blurps".

LINDA LEE MICHELET PERFORMS THE SWINGIN' BLUES OF PEGGY LEE, JULIE LONDON AND BILLIE HOLIDAY
"LINDA LEE MICHELET takes her listeners on a musical journey rediscovering some of the legendary female singers of American Blues. She is 'Portland's own honey-voiced siren" according to reviewer Patrick Russell, Online MusicNet'. Ms. Michelet brings back the spirit of the by-gone days when sophisticated cabaret entertainment was dominated by the latest exciting chanteuse. Ms. Michelet's admiration and deep appreciateion for such great artists as Peggy Lee, Julie London and Billie Holiday are
personified in every performance. At home with a big band, intimate five-pieve combo or a Broadway-style musical, Linda Lee's distinctively lyrical pipes have graced live radio, television as well as theater. Her credits include "Fiddler on the Roof", the Waterfront Blues Festival, and an original cabaret, "My Baby & Me". Linda is currently performing monthly, as well as New Year's Eve at the Heathman Hotel. (Photo by Owen Carey)
