I get asked by people, “so, wow, Germany hey?”. And I say yup, it's fun. They love acoustic singer-songwriters who play folk, blues, and Americana music… good things that my bag. I have an acoustic guitar, mandolin, and love to travel! So, now I'm heading back from my third tour, and my fourth time in Germany and it doesn't feel that exciting anymore... it feels normal. Maybe I'm a road warrior now! A traveling troubadour… a singer-songwriter…Plus I can speak the teensiest bit of German and really love the culture. I do my German language brush ups by working on my DuoLingo app on ..read more

Day of recent show: rogers hometown hockey with the boys....
I recently played a great show in Kamloops, BC called Rogers Hometown Hockey. They were going across Canada for a family friendly hockey weekend in towns all across Canada. I was chosen to play in Kamloops on Sunday Jan 14.
I got the call about six weeks ahead of time. I had actually applied online and saw the event come up and thought hey, that will be fun.
I’m a singer-songwriter who plays acoustic guitar and mandolin and generally I play solo. This was a great opportunity to play with the full band. &nbs ..read more

One of the things that I’ve realized is that I need to go off about once a month and blow off some steam, have some fun… drink and listen to live music. I always joke to my friends ‘I actually really like going to see live music’... so I go, drink some delicious dark beer and yummy red wine and listen to a band or a singer-songwriter. Maybe have a shot of tequila, wink wink. So when I’m on the road… I put down the acoustic guitar, mandolin and stop being a singer-songwriter for a night and go to see live music. It’s fun!
Increasingly, I’m making mor ..read more

My first pageant... ever.
Tall Clubs International has been running pageants for YEARS. In years past there has been up to 20 different ladies competing for the crown. In recent years, there have been fewer women, but it still makes the competition no less stiff. I had to compete first for the Vancouver BC, Sea to Sky Peaks crown, then continue on to Miss TI. So I guess technically I won two pageants!
If I would have told my 17 year old self that I would be running in a beauty pageant...well... let's just say I surprised myself. In high school, I was the wanna be rock star who ran aroun ..read more

One of the most interesting questions I get on a regular basis is "How the heck do you pack for your tour?". I probably get the question because it's something I talk about alot with friends. It causes me a certain amount of grief... and all the associated costs as each checked bag can add up quickly. Nevermind if it gets lost...
In particular, I need to take all my clothes, my guitar, my mandolin, CD's, merch and any microphones, cables etc...
So I usually lay everything out and try and figure out how the heck I'm going to get it all on tour and back home again.
I lay ..read more

Wow, what an eventful fall it has been. I had a great tour of Germany. Including some lovely shows and even lovelier reviews... check these out from some house concert hosts:
November, 2015 - "Lindsay has a truly great voice which is a perfect fit for the bluesy songs she performed for us, especially during the 2nd set of her show. In the end, the audience didn't want to let her go and asked for several encores. On top, she is a communicative person which makes it easy to have her around."
(C. Piesgrandes)
November, 2015 - "Lindsay is a charming and heart-winning singer, changing ..read more

I don't subscribe to many magazines as I am a bit time crunched, however I do continue to receive one really cool Canadian magazine called Herizons.
I received the spring issue several months ago and have read most of the articles inside. So it was much to my surprise as I was flipping through the magazine a few days ago and noticed my own album being reviewed!
I had a big laugh at myself and then padded myself on the back as they gave me a pretty nice review. Please see below.
