• Hear Linda solo

Linda (Brace) Logue grew up around the Chicago, IL area and moved to South Florida in 1989. She has always been a huge music fan since a very young age and recalls her family used to gather around the record player and sing all the time. In 1995, she let everyone know she could sing solo when her father took her to a local bar and bet her $20 that she would not sing in front of a bar loaded with people for a holiday party. Twenty Bucks Richer, and after 10 minutes of clapping, cheering & screaming, she knew that singing would be a way of life.

As a child, Linda played the trumpet in the school band and competed in the school talent shows. As a young adult, Linda tried to gain singing experience and stage presence by entering singing competitions and such whenever she could. She won many prizes and titles. In 1997, Linda graduated from a Vocal Training class at Bair Community College and then began vocal training along with keyboard lessons from Josh Noland at the Josh Noland Studios in Pompano, FL. In the studio, Linda was asked to do voice-over work and lead vocals for a couple of professional demos. 

Linda also joined the FCMA (Florida Country Music Association) in 1998 and competed in the Annual Showcases. She won many awards; but she would say that she is MOST Proud of the “Entertainer of the Year.” Linda has been written up in numerous newspaper articles, been on a USA live broadcast singing competition over seas and has done numerous voice-over work including a guest appearance for a remake of the cartoon, “The Little Mermaid” country-western version. During the 1998 FCMA Showcase rehearsals, Linda met Michael and the two began seeing each other and writing music their own original together. Linda and Michael were asked to join a local band, where they played country and rock music for private parties over the next year & 1/2 around South Florida. By December 1999, Linda and Michael moved up to the Ocala/Leesburg area where they started up a new rock band, named “Misstaken," and began to play shows containing the cover songs everyone knows & loves as well as their original songs. 

Linda also lead Misstaken into touring locally around Central Florida in 2004, networking and getting the word out. You may view Misstaken's past experience on the Tour Dates page under "Past Show Dates."

Linda is lively and very versatile; she can adjust to any type of music or environment. She brings such feeling and emotion to each song that you can hardly miss a note. She really does sing straight from the heart. Linda states, “I try to make everyone feel as if the song was meant for them” and “If it weren’t for Michael, I wouldn’t be where I am now in my vocal and harmony abilities, and in my life!” Linda has always loved being in front of an audience and a video camera and she grew up imitating comedy movies, comedians and commercials. Therefore, she loves to add tons of laughs into the show, whether it be improv or pulling a few toys from her bag of goodies. There's just no standing still while she's in the room. It is Linda’s humorous personality, versatile ability and vocal range that help to make the unique sound of “Misstaken.”
