Linda Eder NOW Comes To RRazz Room Concert Series At Marines Memorial

Linda Eder reunites with Frank Wildhorn on the new album, NOW, marking the musical return of this legendary team. After six years apart, Eder and Wildhorn collaborate to recapture the magic that began over two decades ago with the international hit, Jekyll & Hyde.

Pre orders for the album are now being accepted, with the bonus CD booklet signed by Eder.

Join us at San Francisco's The Marines Memorial Theatre for this rare area opportunity to see Broadway sensation Linda Eder in an elegant and intimate setting. Quite simply, Linda Eder possesses one of the greatest contemporary solo voices of our time. With a starring role in the musical Jekyll & Hyde, Eder (winning a Drama Desk Award®) became a favorite leading lady of Broadway. The concert stage remains the mainstay of Eder's career. She has performed for sold-out crowds and has packed venues across the country. Her concerts have been televised on Bravo and PBS. Trail Mix, her primetime Animal Planet special, was a natural extension of her love of animals. This season we're delighted to bring back this amazingly powerful songstress for a very special concert you'll long remember.

Showcasing one of the greatest contemporary voices of our time, Linda Eder's diverse repertoire spans Broadway, standards, pop, country and jazz. Her Austrian father and Norwegian mother exposed her to many types of music during her Minnesota childhood. Judy Garland was the vocalist who first captured her attention, followed by classical soprano Eileen Farrell and then Barbra Streisand during Linda's teen years. By the time she was eight, Linda knew she wanted to be a singer.

At twenty-five, Eder was headlining her own show at Harrah's casino in Atlantic City. Thrilled to win a spot on the first episode of Star Search for the 1987 season, she continued for an unprecedented 12-week run. This TV success led to a leading role on Broadway as Lucy Harris in Jekyll & Hyde, which won her a Drama Desk Award and broadened her fan base.

Last fall Linda released Soundtrack, a follow-up to her 2008 Verve Records debut, The Other Side of Me. Produced by Peter Collins, Soundtrack finds Eder going to the movies and adding new dimensions to an eclectic mix of themes from the silver screen. Song selections for this collection were easy. Linda concentrated on familiar tunes that struck an immediate emotional chord with her. The 12 tracks span roughly the last 50 years in cinema, from Henry Mancini's "Charade," the title tune of the 1963 movie starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, to "Falling Slowly," the Best Original Song Academy Award winner from Once, the 2007 Irish musical film.

Eder launched her recording career in 1991 with her self-titled debut album and soon established a vital niche as America's most popular and acclaimed new interpreter of pop standards and theatrical songs with such releases as And So Much More, It's No Secret Anymore, Christmas Stays The Same, Gold, Storybook, Broadway My Way and By Myself: The Songs of Judy Garland. Those albums showcased Eder's abundant vocal gifts as well as her knack for delivering dramatic, emotionally resonant interpretations of familiar songs while making them her own.

Linda has performed at many prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Davies Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Wolftrap and the Ravinia Festival. Always touring in good company, Eder's collaborations include Oscar-winning composer pianist Marvin Hamlisch, Tony-winner, Michael Feinstein and Keith Lockhart, conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra.

The concert stage remains the mainstay of Eder's career. She has performed for sold-out crowds and has packed venues across the country. Her concerts have been televised on Bravo and PBS. Trail Mix, her primetime Animal Planet special, was a natural extension of her love of animals. In June 2010, Linda and Clay Aiken covered Roy Orbison's Crying as a duet on Clay's new album "Tried & True." Recently she was featured on two PBS specials including Clay Aiken's "Tried & True" and "Hallelujah Broadway." Currently Linda is in the studio working on a new album set for release in early 2011.
