GOTTA HAVE ME GO WITH YOU

SONGS OF CONNECTION

Bistro Award winner Linda Kahn is unveiling her new show "Gotta Have Me Go With You," an eclectic collection of songs and stories about the connections that shape our lives–connections we need now more than ever.

Included are songs by Burt Bacharach, Amanda McBroom, Dan Fogelberg, Arlen & Gershwin, Lennon & McCartney and more, featuring favorites such as “Downtown,” “The Look of Love,” “The People That You Never Get to Love,” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” all reimagined with her signature warmth, wit, and emotional honesty.  

Linda is a familiar face from her critically acclaimed, MAC Nominated solo debut show "Say Yes!" at The Laurie Beechman Theatre and Triad, and performances at Don’t Tell Mama, The Green Room 42, Jazz on Main and Davenport’s in Chicago.  

Linda released her Bistro Award-winning debut album, "Wait ’Til You See What’s Next," produced by David Friedman, in 2024.

This show is directed by Jeff Harnar, with musical direction and arrangements by Christopher Denny, and featuring Jay Leonhart on bass.

Linda Kahn was awarded a Bistro Award for Outstanding Recording in 2024 and was a 2023 MAC award nominee for her solo cabaret debut show “Say Yes!”

After starting out as a young actress in TV and theater in Los Angeles, Linda took a 40-year hiatus from show business to raise a family and have a successful career in event planning. In recent years, Linda rediscovered her passion for singing, and found, in the cabaret community, the ideal medium for combining her love of connecting with people with her love of performing.

Linda’s first solo show, “Say Yes!” a memoir about the power of giving in to life’s opportunities, has moved audiences and gotten uniformly rave reviews from Broadway World, Cabaret Scenes, Cabaret Hot Spot and A Woman About Town, and garnered her a MAC Award nomination for Best Debut, 2023.

In October 2023, Linda released her first studio album, Wait ‘Til You See What’s Next, produced by renowned composer David Friedman (acclaimed producer of the late Nancy LaMott). Initial reviews have been glowing. She created a live show centered on the album with multiple performances at Don’t Tell Mama, Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA. And Jazz on Main in Mt. Kisco, NY through 2025.
