When Cal and Teddy sing, people stop, listen and they love what they hear. They bring a lifetime of performing experience that offers the best combination of traditional sounds and continued innovation.
The Linfords started out their musical odyssey at the age of 3 at church, funerals and family reunions.
Since that time they have studied voice with Michael Ballam, Marla Volovna, Derek Furch, and Will Kesling.
Cal has headlined two country bands and opened for Chris LeDoux, Martina McBride, Rick Trevino and Toby Keith, Sam Hunt and Joe Nichols. Cal has written and recorded several albums and has a catalog of songs that bring to light a life lived out in the mountains of Wyoming, where if they weren’t working the ranch they were singing. Cal has owned and ran his own business for over a decade but recently turned the keys over to the new owners, making room in his life for more guitars and more fishing.
Teddy has toured the country with a Big Band performing group, sung for the royal family of Thailand and is a Sun Valley Caroler who has entertained Arnold Schwarznegger, Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen and her childhood idol Julie Andrews. She is also a founding member of the variety performing act Lady Luck and continues to kick up her heels from Wyoming to Iowa and every where in between.

• Pierce Avenue
One could say Pierce Avenue is in perfect harmony. Made up of husband and wife Tony and Jaime Pierce, the duo has paired their love with their affinity for music, meshing their solo chops to create a soulful, southern-fringed sound unique to most up-and-coming Nashville hopefuls. Embracing their authentic country roots with twang and sass, the high-octane duo delivers high-energy performances laced with flawless harmonies that leave no doubt in the listener the two have become one.
Jaime a Hoosier native, and Tony a Texas boy, met in Dallas and moved together to Music City in 2010, when Tony got the job to play lead guitar for Dustin Lynch. With a few Opry opportunities and big tours under his belt, Tony felt something missing. It was his dreams to pursue writing & playing his own music.
In October 2013, Pierce Avenue released their first single as a duo to iTunes, “Take It to the House.” Along with producer Jimmy Dulin (he produced “Take It to the House” & “Shut Up & Love Me”) and engineer Todd Tidwell from Starstruck Entertainment, Pierce Avenue produced and co-wrote on all 5 tracks of their debut EP released in 2014.
Pierce Avenue also released a YouTube video of their ‘country’ cover of John Legend’s “All of Me” that has had over 95,000 views to date! Because of the response from YouTubers wanting to be able to have that version, in 2015 it became available on iTunes to purchase.
Pierce Avenue is currently working on their next record and touring all over the U.S.
