What a glorious time of year. The air is alive with new scents from old, the horizon dull and bright at the same time, the wind and stars blissfully fresh and clear… and me without a penny to my name. Thank heavens I can see the beauty in life, and the creativity, musically, never ends. Thank heavens going for a bicycle ride down windy rocky roads doesn’t cost money! Alas, to be a full time music maker in a coin driven world where one in 10 music makers don’t make it! What kind of decision did I make, to be a contender in a race that is almost impossible to win? I ask myself this question on many occassions and always come up with another question: Life or death? I choose life and with life, in my world, comes music and not just in my stereo, mp3, computer or from someone else completely…no, I have this musical gift and it was given to me by the cosmos and the cosmos have demanded that I share…so share I will, I do, I must! Here is a clip of one of my favourite songs, sung this past year at The Ottawa Bluesfest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SayF4Vrsto&feature=related it’s called “Sky’n Me” and I have recorded it “album” form, along with 6 other songs, which hopefully I will one day be able to press, put up on Itunes and sell from the stage… outta my hands into yours (sorry for the big huge font. just happened all of a sudden and I don’t know how to change it back!) Anyway, I hope to sing for you soon, and if you are in the Ottawa area on the 14th of November (my birthday!!) I am singing at The Rainbow Bistro… it’s a Saturday night… come on down… I’ll be in fine form then… just a rant today, on a grey day in October… Lxo
Lindsay Ferguson has a voice that evokes spine-tingling feeling, creative passion & powerful strength. She has been singing since the wee age of 2yrs & has been honing her craft ever since. Taking time to write soulful songs through travel & experience, from Ontario to Newfoundland, Switzerland to Bermuda, Ireland to California, Lindsay sings & performs like she means it with a drive that will take her to the stars. 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.
