For many years, Linda Quon has been an active and visible presence within Central Oregon’s music scene, playing in bands like The Quons (with her husband Mark), Parlour, O’Sister and She’s With Me.

Now she’s stepping to the front of the stage to front her own band, Linda Quon & Hello Trouble, a skilled sextet that specializes in country and folk music flavored with rootsy blues, jazzy swing and throwback vibes. They play original songs written by Quon, who cites artists like Sierra Ferrell and Eilen Jewell as influences.
