Waterloo Makes Music: Tower Music Series

Friday July 6th features bands Donnie Lynee and Sands & Hearn

Donnie Lynee:  Donnie Lynee is a Soul, R&B and Gospel singer and songwriter hailing from Cleveland, OH. She began singing at the age of four at family gatherings, which eventually lead to her singing in performance competitions and talent shows. Donnie attended Cleveland School of Arts where she studied classical violin, vocal music, and jazz art. She started recording songs in high school with the S.T.A.R.S. Program under the direction of Chris Powell.Today, the sultry songstress performs locally in Cleveland and nationally, while she continues to find inspiration to write and sing about love, loss, hope and the pursuit of life.

Sands & Hearn: Husband and wife Richard Hearn & Quinn Sands have been writing and performing together since 2015. Both grew up on the southwest side of Cleveland Ohio, but never met until decades later at the legendary Barking Spider Tavern on the campus of Case Western Reserve University.  Similar life experiences led to each of them following the muse out of difficult times and toward one another. Their style is a unique blend of their musical backgrounds and influenced by the roots of American music, with an emphasis on the story.
