Details:
The completion of "Takin' the Longview," Linsey Furry's disc of pop/piano/classical stylings, marks a high point in her years as a professional musician. The Greater Kalamazoo [MI] Arts Council has recognized this achievement by awarding her the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation Emerging Artist Grant.

Linsey has been involved in performing and teaching music for most of her life. During her early college years at Ball State University, the Indiana native was pianist and arranger for the University Singers, and toured Army bases at home and abroad with the group as USO representatives.

At Shanty Creek/ Schuss Mountain in Northern Michigan, now known as Shanty Creek Resorts, she was entertainment director, arranging instrumentals and vocals.

After the completion of her music education degree at Western Michigan University, she taught music in two elementary schools, and still teaches at Kalamazoo Valley Community College. She also has many private piano students. But Linsey never lost sight of the dream of recording her original compositions.

You like piano instrumental music? She plays it. Want vocals added? Got it! Linsey's breadth of experience has enabled her to write and perform many styles equally effectively. She has something for every listener.

After the years of working day to day as a musician and teacher, Linsey Furry decided to "take the long view" and really make a go of it as a composer. Take a listen; you're sure to find something you enjoy!
