Linda Perhacs Friends and collaborators of Linda Perhacs have posted a public plea to anyone knowing information on the whereabouts of the revered singer-songwriter.
The statement, written by Perhac’s former manager Laurel Stearns, claims that the 82-year-old songwriter was discharged from a residential care facility eight months ago under the supervision of her legal guardian. Perhac’s friends and collaborators state that they haven’t been able to contact Perhacs nor her guardian. In an Instagram post alongside a photo of the singer, Stearns wrote, “LINDA PERHACS FANS, WE NEED YOUR HELP. LINDA HAS GONE MISSING.”
The release itself states that at “this time, those issuing this statement are not alleging wrongdoing,” adding, “Rather, they are seeking confirmation that Linda is safe, well, and receiving appropriate care, while expressing concern over the prolonged absence of communication with a beloved public figure.”
Perhacs is best known for 1970’s Parallelograms, recorded when she was a dental hygienist. It went overlooked for years until it received renewed appreciation in the late-Nineties, gaining her a cult audience who regards the album as a lost psychedelic folk classic. She released her comeback album The Soul of All Natural Things in 2014, followed by I’m a Harmony three years later.
