LINDA BONADIES
 Based in Connecticut,my musical journey has been as much of a spiritual journey as a musical one, evolving into a passion to empower myself and others - to break through obstacles, find your true voice and become yourself, your greatest source of power.The body of my work including my songs, my classes, and my One Woman Show “The Performance of My Life,” are all true to this aim. I received formal training as a composer earning a Bachelor’s of Music Degree and a Masters of Music Degree. Later in life I found my true “voice” as a Singer/Songwriter. I’ve released two albums and received some songwriting honors in competitions including the Indie Acoustic Project, the Pacific Songwriting Competition, the Unisong International Songwriting contest as well as a CD Baby Front Page Feature. I wrote and produced the music for children’s musical “Mommy I’m a Princess” and teach “Songwriting and the Art of Being Yourself,” dedicated to developing the internal powers of kids as well as their tactical songwriting skills. I am a professional certified coach.

PAUL ZOLLO
 Paul Zollo is a wonderfully creative chameleon. In the span of a day he may go from being one of the most respected rock journalists (interviews with Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, etc., author of many books) to hanging his wonderful street photography in a gallery to crafting songs that range from Angelyne to UFO's to Halloween. A longtime journalist who has contributed to the L.A. Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Variety, Billboard and many other publications, he's the former editor of SongTalk magazine, and current Senior editor of American Songwriter magazine. He's also the chief editor of Bluerailroad (www.bluerailroad.com) and the author of several books, including Songwriters On Songwriting [Da Capo],Conversations with Tom Petty [Omnibus] and Hollywood Remembered [Taylor Press], which is an award-winning narrative and oral history of Hollywood. But his music, performance and songsmithing, we think, takes the cake and that is why we are honored to hear his words of wisdom.
