Mary Link

Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Mary discovered her love of country music at a very young age. Taught to play bass by her Aunt Tootie, she grew up surrounded by music and knew early on that it would be her lifelong path. She joined her first band at just 12 years old and has been singing and playing ever since. After graduating from Millard South High School, she eagerly stepped into a full‑time music career—exactly what she had always dreamed of.
Mary credits her dear friend and mentor, Johnny Ray Gomez, with shaping her into the professional performer and entertainer she is today. His guidance and encouragement were instrumental in launching her career.
In 1985, Mary moved to Reno, Nevada, married Jimmy Link, and became one of “The Links.” Together, they performed throughout Las Vegas, Reno, Tahoe, and the Midwest, building a life filled with music and adventure. After raising their two boys and returning to Omaha, Mary and Jimmy continue to share their love of performing with audiences near and far.
Mary also feels deeply grateful to perform alongside her longtime friend, Diana Van Moorleghem. The two first took the stage together in 1975 with their band “Young & Restless,” and their musical partnership remains a joyful thread in Mary’s life. Beyond the music, their friendship—spanning more than 50 years—continues to be one of Mary’s greatest blessings.
Life is good, and Mary is thankful for every moment, every audience, and every song.
 

Born in Keosauqua, Iowa and raised in Omaha, Nebraska I am truly a midwest girl. Even though my parents were not musical I attribute my love for music, especially country, to my mother who played records every night as the final tasks were being done for the day.

I have had the joy of singing and playing keyboard for several local groups since I began my musical career in the late 70’s. I am now currently performing with The Links originally from Reno, Nevada. As a part of these various groups I had the opportunity to perform with many accomplished artists including my all time favorite Reba McEntire.

I feel very blessed with my God given talents and I look forward to singing and playing for you in the very near future.

What to say? I have spent the better part of my life doing what I love, entertaining audiences all across the country. A little music, a little magic, a little laughter and lots of great friendships. I am blessed with five incredible sons, a very tolerant wife and two great dogs. After golfing almost every day, running seven full marathons, piloting my own airplane and a small part in a movie with Clint Eastwood, I can now occasionally be found on stage with two very pretty girls, my wife, Mary, and Diana Sapp. Life is still filled with a little music, a little magic and a little laughter. Would I change anything? Only the winters here in Nebraska. As my dad used to say “It just doesn’t get any better than this.”
