Bio / Background
Lin McEwan is starting to get some serious attention: from a current run at the Original Sessions National Band Search title and a Notable Mention at MEANY Fest to a number 1 position on Lone Wolf Radio's Panic Zone Top 100, as well as a regular rotation on a dozen other stations.
But for the majority of Lin's young life, people assumed she couldn't sing because her voice was so unusually low. "When I was in the eighth grade," she recalls, "I had to play Santa Claus because the boys voices hadn't changed yet, and I was the only one who could do a convincing, Ho, ho, ho."
It wasn't until she was 16 that she stepped onto the stage of her Baltimore high schools gala gospel concert to give her first ever solo performance, a rousing blues take of "Amazing Grace," for which she received a thunderous three-minute standing ovation.
Since then, Lin's repertoire and range have expanded significantly, as evidenced on her newly-released debut album.
↓ more ↓This self-titled LP features an eclectic collection of songs fusing rock, blues, pop, and funk. Tying it all together are Lin's powerhouse, soul-tinged vocals, evoking the old-school sounds of Mavis Staples, Nina Simone, Tina Turner, and even Bonnie Raitt.
But where Lin is concerned, comparisons are largely moot.
"Lin's voice is both beautiful and powerful," says Jeanne Drewsen, of Artemis/V2 Records, "but its greatest strength is its singularity. You can be certain you've never heard anyone quite like Lin McEwan."
Since graduating from Vanderbilt University, Lin has settled in New York, where she put together a talented group of instrumentalists who have backed the likes of Mike Stern, Al DiMeola, and Gavin DeGraw. Since they began playing together last fall, Lin and her band have appeared at such landmark establishments as CBGB's Gallery and the Bitter End, as well as the Rockwood Music Hall and the Cutting Room, among others. But she still considers Baltimore home and takes the band back as often as possible.
Lin is a proud member of ASCAP and the NAPM.
