Owned and operated by Linda Carr, Linda's Carraoke
has been in business since 1998.
Ms. Carr, an experienced vocalist and musician,
began her career in music singing and
playing keyboards in her first professional band at
age 19. Travelling around the southeast, she
performed for a variety of shows including private
parties, weddings, festivals and clubs. Linda has
entertained for such events as: Mardi Gras in Mobile,
Alabama, The SC Peach Festival, and the Governor
of Alabama. After 10 years of performing with this band,
she played with two other groups; the later of which
led to two overseas military MWR tours of Japan,
Korea, Guam, Hawaii, Johnson Atoll, Turkey, Italy and Spain.
Upon her return home from these trips, Ms. Carr
began her karaoke business in Columbia, South Carolina,
performing 6 nights a week. She built up a very successful

Paramount Carowinds, as a Karaoke Hostess.
In 2000, Ms. Carr relocated to Hanau, Germany where she
began working for the MWR military club circuit providing

which she managed to fill every night; the Flood Zone, the
Black Hawk Club in Budingen, The Oasis, and to the soldiers
and civillians at the Woodland Club in Giessen. In February
of 2003, Ms. Williams relocated to Wuerzburg, Germany.
She still performed in Hanau, but also began performing for
