Latin Legends

At just eight years old, Linda Shields discovered her gift, which would later on turn into a lifelong career for herself. It wasn’t until she was pushed into it that she discovered what it was that she’d be doing for the rest of her life. Now, 54 years later, the Jersey Shore Medium is touring around the country and continues to be surrounded by spirits in her day-to-day work.
Eleven years ago, Shields launched her career into becoming the Jersey Shore Medium. It all started in her early twenties when someone approached her with tarot cards. Little did she know she would never see that person again; however, she would end up needing those cards again someday.
It became public for Shields in the summer of 1990 when she received a phone call to do a reading. Shields’ grandmother was also a psychic who taught her how to turn off and on her senses as well as understand them.
“There has never been a time where I could not connect with someone,” says Shields. “It’s the readings that when I can give closure or hope, that’s what keeps me going.”
Shields is able to use the psychic senses of hearing (Clairaudience), tasting/smelling (Clairsentient), and physical feeling or being an Empath during a reading. She was never afraid of her spirits due to the fact that she was always surrounded by them. The Jersey Shore Medium admits that she favors Clairaudience because it’s like having a personal dialogue in her head.
“I want to stay where I am. I like being the Jersey Shore Medium. I just want in the years to come to have the health to keep doing what I’m doing. As long as I have the energy and the blessings to do it, I’ll do it as long as I can,” Shields states.
Shields does shows around the tri-state area. In addition, the Jersey Shore native is also the published author of Angel Inspirations for Serenity and Love, Crystal Power, and 12,000 Dreams Interpreted.

Highlighting underperformed gems by truly ingenious musical minds, the program brings to light works that deserve far greater recognition.
About the Artists
Hailing from a musical family in Southern California, Julian Jenson began his journey with the piano and conducting at an early age. He has since grown into a dedicated performer and music educator, committed to using the power of music to uplift communities and foster global connection.
Jenson’s career has taken him to prestigious concert halls and meaningful community venues alike—from the Pacific Coast of the U.S. to Italy, Iceland, Japan, and Chile. Whether performing as a soloist or chamber musician, his music has resonated through schools, churches, hospitals, and beyond.
A versatile artist, Jenson has appeared on television, radio, and streaming platforms both as a pianist and vocalist. His love for vocal collaboration took root in high school and blossomed through his artistic partnership with soprano Susana Leiva, his wife. Their creative synergy has led to co-writing, arranging, and performing across a wide array of genres, including vocal jazz, classical repertoire, musical theatre, folk, and sacred music.
With a deep fluency in diverse vocal styles and a heartfelt commitment to musical storytelling, Julian Jenson continues to share his artistry with audiences around the world—bridging cultures, genres, and generations through the universal language of music.
Born in Santiago, Chile, Susana Leiva musical growth was nurtured by her mother, also a classically trained singer and pianist. Alongside her piano lessons, which began at the age of four, Leiva had been constantly involved in singing with various vocal ensembles that had toured extensively in North America, South America, Canada, and Japan. Altogether she had appeared and sung in over 20 productions before learning the craft of operatic singing. Leiva has performed many roles throughout her undergraduate and graduate training, in both operatic and musical productions alike. She has appeared in Alcina​ as the titular lead at the Trentino Music Festival in Italy. Her operatic catalogue also includes Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro​, Gretel in Hänsel und Gretel​, Lauretta in Gianni Schicchi​, Miss Wordsworth in Albert Herring, ​ Adele in Die Fledermaus​, Mabel in Pirates of Penzance​, The Princess in Little Nemo in Slumberland​ by Daron Hagen, and Mary the Mother of Jesus in Marcos Galvany’s Oh My Son​. Leiva has also sung in musicals, including The Sound of Music​ (as Elsa), and Fiddler on the Roof​ (as Hodel). In addition to her work in productions, Susana has extensive experience in recitals, concerts with orchestra, opera scene concerts, and choral ensemble performances across the U.S. Leiva has studied privately with Eduardo Chama, Dr. Raejin Lee, and currently studies with Gerald Moore. Leiva holds a Master’s of Music in Opera Performance from the Mason Gross School of The Arts at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ, and a Bachelor’s of Music in Vocal Performance from La Sierra University in Riverside, CA.

With this lineup, the group released Twilight in Olympus, which garnered both greater critical kudos and greater sales. In a unique turn of events, however, the band faced a new lineup change. Newcomer Walling and bassman Thomas Miller both decided that they were not up to touring for the album. The recently departed Rullo rethought his exodus and came back into the Symphony X fold. was brought in on bass for the duration of the tour. After the tour was over, the group found a permanent replacement in Mike LePond. This formation of the group released their fifth album in 2000 — V: The New Mythology Suite. The following year, Symphony X released their first live album, Live on the Edge of Forever, which captured performances from their 2000 European tour. In 2002, the band continued to mine mythology with their sixth studio album, The Odyssey, which was based on Homer’s epic of the same name. They band a bit of a break while its members released solo albums but came together again in 2007 with the released of Paradise Lost, a concept album based on Milton’s tale. Taking a break from mining the past, the band looked to the future for the theme of their next album. The result was 2011’s Iconoclast, which featured a darker tone and a cautionary story about machines taking over the world. After a global tour, the band took an extended break. They began working on new material in 2014. Their ninth studio offering, Underworld, was announced in May of 2015. Though not conceptual, it was loosely inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, particularly its first section, The Inferno. The album was released at the end of July. ~ Gary Hill, Rovi

Veronica Swift
2025-09-30 00:00 | Count Basie Center for the Arts, 99 Monmouth Street, Red Bank, New Jersey, 07701, United States
Having been known to the world as one of the most dazzling and versatile performers of her generation with “a miraculous voice, musical ability and technique, as well as an innate gift for entertaining a crowd” (Wall Street Journal), Veronica Swift showed in previous years that she is more than a jazz singer. During the 2023-25 years, Swift and her multi genre band performed for audiences all over the globe seeing a rising demand for her dynamic, electrifying performances. It was in this era that she was also given the honor of Knight in the order of arts and letters from the French Republic.
Her debut Mack Avenue award-winning release ‘Confessions’ (2019) secured her a spot at the podium amongst the greatest jazz singers of her generation. She then demonstrated her flare for conceptual cycles and keen arranging with her 2021 release ‘This Bitter Earth’ which not only gave a glimpse into her rock influences, but automatically touched up upon some of the harder truths of being a woman. On her most recent 2023 album, simply titled ‘Veronica Swift’, she spreads her sonic wings even further exploring a “TransGenre” concept that includes more expansive range of influences than ever before: French and Italian opera, European classical music, industrial and punk rock, funk, and vaudeville.
Swift’s recent collaboration with drummer/producer, Brian Viglione (The Dresden Dolls) allowed for her creativity to flourish, and as she continues her artistic journey, she brings this multi-genre experience to you along with the music from her upcoming original project titled DAME. She is joined on stage by Kyle Reinhart (guitar), Alexis Angel (keyboards/guitar), and Jonny Heinz (bass).
