Linda Barton Paul

You want something exciting, but with a touch of elegance, that makes this event uniquely yours. Look no further! With a 40-year career as an entertainer, Linda provides classic presentation and modern spice to any of your life's celebration events. These musical arrangements are beautiful backdrops to your occasion, with selections from Bach to Brubeck, Sinatra to Sting. It will add just the right touch of tradition while highlighting your favorite songs of yesterday and today.

Thinking of more than one instrument, but don't know what works with the harp? Listen to the Jazzical Strings Duo entry of "This Masquerade"! Or I can work with flute, piano, violin and/or cello, as well as jazz ensemble using drums, guitar, bass and vocals.

A veteran touring artist, Linda performs across the U.S. Her concerts are full-spectrum presentations of classical to contemporary genres, including hymns and gospel, Broadway and movie themes, as well as Top 40. Linda has several CD's featuring her repertoire, which are also on her website.

Using her French Electric Harp, Linda can play in concert venues small to large - home concerts to performing arts centers, and especially churches. Her "informances" are full of wit, history, and generosity. As one review of January 2011 said, "Linda's laid-back delivery during conversations with her audience made this Oklahoma native appear… well, almost Southern."

Linda prefers her concerts be fund raising ventures. She donates a portion of her CD sales at concerts to local charities. Look at her calendar to see when she will be in your area to book your own event.

• If you are looking for excellent music and a very talented harpist, you MUST hire Linda! She did a fantastic job for my daughter's wedding and reception. I had so many compliments on her music selections and her talent. I am so glad we chose her! She was very professional and made the entire process of selecting music easy and fun. She can play any style of music and we chose an all Beatles ceremony which was so appropriate for our venue, the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame. While you can listen to her sample music via gigmasters it doesn't compare to the real thing...in person. I highly recommend her for any ocassion. Her playing was truly unforgettable!! Thanks! -- Camille W, Tulsa, OK, 3/26/2011
• I was so pleased with Linda's performance at my mother's funeral. I appreciated her willingness to play songs that were not on her repertoire list. Her music made the service special. -- Sammye W, tulsa, OK, 3/5/2012
• Linda was very easy to work with, from the initial meeting to select music for our event, and handling last minutes changes to our music selections. Linda arrived well in advance of her performance time in order to ensure that she was ready to perform at the required time. She is a very talented harpist. -- Maureen C, Tulsa, OK, 5/19/2012
