Kinda Ronstadt celebrates the music and generation of the one and only Linda Ronstadt, a versatile, intelligent, determined musician who had one simple dream: to be a singer.
She became the Queen of Rock, the voice of the 70s and a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
Kinda Ronstadt pays homage to her music, and the musicians she influenced and was influenced by.
Sherri Jackson headlines the show with killer vocals and a passion for the music that is unmatched. Her extraordinary band features the epic Chuck Baker (guitar), Ron Pretli (bass), and local legends Rick Garner (keyboard/lead guitar) and Mike MacDonald (percussion). Backed by the exquisite vocal stylings of Melissa and Shannon McCready (Motes & Oats), the vocals and harmonies are the icing on a perfectly baked cake.
Kinda Ronstadt will transport you back to an era where peace, love and music could, and did, change the world.

Sherri Jackson's sound comes from an old soul, rich in vibrato, emotion and power. A tapestry weaving together folk, blues, jazz, rock and country that has been compared to Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks, Chrissie Hynde and Melissa Etheridge.
Her vocals are deeply resonating, striking a chord within you that only music can touch. She makes the song her own by blending her unique vocal range with a powerful belt that hits you from out of nowhere, making her performances soul-stirring and unforgettable.
Chuck Baker's sound dissolves the traditional boundaries between blues, rock, jazz and even funk. He fractures the iconic mold of folk, delivering a complex blend of keen riffs, exciting composition, erudite songwriting and an arrestingly percussive style of guitar that punctuates brilliantly. To really appreciate Chuck Baker is to see him play live. His performances are engaging and infectious.
Motes and Oats is a dynamic musical duo known for rich vocal harmonies, heartfelt songwriting, and a signature blend of folk, country, rock, and jazz influences. Co-written and guitar-driven, their songs are brought to life with stories of love, change, and resilience.
