Open Mic via Zoom: Lynda and Bruce
2026-06-06 19:00 - 22:00 | Zoom
Lynda Sales started singing as soon as she could talk. She took classical piano for most of her childhood. At thirteen, she started playing the guitar and singing folk songs, plus a bit of rock and roll. As an adult, she sang in many area musicals. After being sidelined from the guitar due to a badly broken wrist, she learned to play the ukulele, which is now her instrument of choice. Lynda sang covers until four years ago, when she started writing her own songs … finally.
Bruce Engholm started out playing the guitar. When Lynda switched to the uke (at his urging) he made the change as well. His favorite instrument is the banjolele. He studied Bluegrass style fingerpicking last year. Lynda feels it adds a lot to her songs.
Lynda & Bruce perform at local and Zoom open mics regularly, play with a Gospel group, various uke groups, and at some local venues. After a lot of procrastination, they are starting to record their music.
Lynda & Bruce live in Kingston, N.Y. with a dog, two cats and a tortoise.
