Two years ago, The Linda Ronstadt Experience captivated our audience, and we're thrilled to welcome them back! American Idol's Tristan McIntosh delivered a breathtakingly authentic Linda Ronstadt performance, her voice a stunning echo of the legend herself. The backing band's exceptional musicianship perfectly captured the essence of Ronstadt's iconic hits. We're humbled and excited to host them once again!

The show takes you on a musical journey of smash hit songs, including “You’re No Good,” “When Will I Be Loved,” “That’ll Be the Day,” and a particularly delicate, nuanced interpretation of “Blue Bayou,” among many more. 

This repertoire spans from the earliest days of Linda’s singing career with the Stone Poneys, a folk trio formed in Los Angeles in 1965; her first hit song with the band was the evocative “Different Drum.” 

 During the 1970s, she helped forge the country-rock sound of the era with classic renditions of songs by the Eagles, Jackson Brown, and Warren Zevon; later in the 1980s, she bridged the new wave sound of the decade into huge hits with her chart-topping tenth album, Mad Love. Linda’s explosive live shows also included material by the Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Little Feat, and other contemporaries of the day.  

Come out and revel in the songs Linda Ronstadt brought to life so beautifully, performed by the Linda Ronstadt Experience. Vocalist Tristan McIntosh (2016 American Idol finalist) takes you on an emotional ride of purity, power, and heartbreak as she soars through these songs as though they live inside her. Be part of the experience, and follow Tristan McIntosh and the Linda Ronstadt Experience as they bring Linda Ronstadt's music into the 21st century!

 To convey the majesty and impact of McIntosh’s powerful vocal quality is hard to put into words. She exudes poise and grace, with a delivery both electrifying and subtle, by turns. Tristan brings the original singer’s version stunningly alive through her own artful touch.
