Good Morning!! I missed writing this wee note yesterday, as I was out getting debauched in the sun. I like to keep up with this “blog” (yucky word) every Tuesday, I should probably write more, in ALL aspects of my life… more songs, more letters and more, ahem, blogs. Of course, that’s what we want, a little more of everything. Our desire to live. Perfectly put. I only wish that I had more discipline, how can I get more of that? I guess I just need more practice! Practicing discipline, practising guitar…a little more practice. Speaking of that though, I have been practicing with a band and it is going fantastically. In the past I have found it very difficult to sing in front of a full band, funnily enough, it’s not easier for me with more people on the stage. Mainly because it’s easier to hear what kinds of sounds are coming out of my mouth when I’m solo, you know, without the competition of a few amps and a drum kit. We had our first trio gig last weekend at a BLOW OUT show in Wakefield. It sounded great, now I just need to find a SUBTLE guitarist/keyboardist. I have my first practice with one (fingers crossed) on Friday. I’ll let you know how it goes… the BLUESFEST gig isn’t too far away either!! There will be a bus leaving Wakefield on the 11th of July, to take whoever wants to go see my show… for free!! So get on the bus gus and set yourself free…. xox

Her true Love -music- takes her everywhere (as long as the van doesn't break down...) She has finished recording her debut full length album "sound." with Dave Draves of Little Bullhorn Studios in Ottawa (Kathleen Edwards, Jim Bryson, Howe Gelb.) Her CD Release party at The Black Sheep Inn, Wakefield Quebec, had record attendance, beating out Arcade Fire no less!! She has performed & played festivals of all sorts, including the Ottawa Blues Festival, one of the biggest in North America. Showcased on CBC's "Bandwidth" & "Definitely Not the Opera", Lindsay's music is finally being heard across Canada. Sometimes she is a solo singer with a guitar a "Songstress Extra-Ordinaire & sometimes she rocks & funks it out with her band "Lindsay Live". Listen up for this killer voice, she is in the process of kicking butt & will kick yours, as soon as you are ready.
