Linda was born to Saul and Miriam Newman and spent her childhood years in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. It was there that she developed a life-long love of music, often attending Tanglewood with family members. She learned to play the guitar and began singing folk music in high school. This passion followed her when she moved to the Boston area. At first singing in Cambridge and then moving to performing in community theatre musical productions after settling in Brookline with her former husband Itamar Lubetzky. It was during this time that she and a fellow performer formed an all-girl trio called the Pastelles. The Pastelles would go on to entertain around the Boston area at private and corporate events, holiday and birthday parties, weddings, and first nights in Concord, NH and Newburyport, MA. Their performances at the Hope Community Church in Newburyport were a must attend event.
