Linda Marks on August 1st at 7 pm will be releasing her inspirational pandemic album, Monuments of Love. For more than 15 months Linda since the start of the COVID outbreak that shut our world down has used both her personal experience and global events that have touched so many as a creative platform for her songwriting.
Monuments Of Love is filled with songs written during the first year of COVID-19 will be featured in an exciting Triple Album Release Show at the Burren in Somerville, MA. Songs from her TWO 2020 albums will also color the setlist.
Known for her heart-to-heart style of songwriting, as the pandemic unfolded, Marks asked herself, “what can we create during a pandemic?” The result was the title song, “Monuments Of Love.” Like monuments, each song marks the emotional landscape many of us traversed with the threat of illness and loss of loved ones, isolation, social unrest, appreciating family and pets, and living with uncertainty. Styles range from folk to gospel to Latin jazz to cabaret/Broadway. “All One Human Race” is an anthem for the human race and a prayer to end gun violence. “Kindness” invites a quality needed now more than ever. “Watch Over Me” is a pandemic spiritual. “Is It Ever Too Soon To Say I Love You” asks a question close to our hearts during COVID19. “Noah Corgi Is The Boy From Ipanema” offers a fun Latin jazz diversion. “Chapter 2020” wonders when we will turn the page on pandemic living. “My Father’s Boots” and “Broken Home” reflect on the family journey. Closing song “Prayers” has become a pandemic anthem during Marks’ Livestream concerts, written when dear friend Bob DiCicco went into the ICU and onto a ventilator with severe COVID-19. He made it through, a true COVID-19 hero.
Linda's show will be warm, entertaining, and memorable. A great way to spend an evening on a Sunday in early August.
