Grammy Nominee Linda Chorney@Cheshire Library


Linda Chorney is a musician and writer who recently

published the book Who the F&*$ is Linda

Chorney?
, an irreverent look at the music industry that

tried to sabotage her nomination for a Grammy. On Thursday,

May 30, 2013 at 7:00pm,Linda will be at the Cheshire Public

Library, where she will talk about her book and her experience,

as well as perform. Copies of her book and CD, Emotional

Jukebox
, will be available for sale. 
An American singer-songwriter originally from Sudbury,

Massachusetts, Chorney made history by being the first independent

artist to get nominated for Best Americana Album in 2012 without a

manager, label, or publicist by utilizing the Grammy 365 Social

Networking site.The industry, however,

was not pleased that an outsider had slipped past the

gatekeepers. They tried to undermine her nomination and

destroy her career.This book, written with

a great deal of humor, is your backstage pass to the inside

story of the Grammys. Fasten your seat belts for a wild ride

with Linda, as she sings and eventually lands on the Red

Carpet. 
Seating is limited. To register, please visit www.cheshirelibrary.org or call 203-272-2245.
