While growing up in a musical household (her father was a classical guitarist who studied with Andres Segovia), Linda Draper listened to everything from Bach to “Bop” from an early age before moving on to writing her own songs and playing guitar.
Since 2001, Draper has released numerous albums, toured the US and UK, and opened for acclaimed musicians such as Teddy Thompson, Melissa Ferrick, Luka Bloom, and Eilen Jewell. She has also seen her songs licensed for commercials and television. In 2022, Linda joined Tompkins Farm Music, a boutique NY based music publisher. That same year, she also started her own label, South Forty Records."Patience and Lipstick,” Linda Draper’s latest album, was produced by Jeff Eyrich, mixed by Grammy®-award winning engineer, Dae Bennett. It is the inaugural release on the artist’s label, South Forty Records.

This fascinating and visually stunning documentary about "ruin porn" was featured a few years ago on WQED Pittsburgh and featured a couple of my songs in it ("Sleepwalkers" and "Shadow of a Coal Mine"). I just found out that they re-aired it! Here is the link to the full thing in case you missed it https://youtu.be/WR5o5Oz6n4Q
