Hey Folks, I’m not much of a morning person, but this morning, when I got into the kitchen, the radio, MIX 97, was playing my song, 1000 Kisses. This made me very happy! People ask me what it’s like to hear myself on the radio and I say “hell yeah, bring it on!!!” I haven’t been pursuing the dream of music to have my first brand new album sit on a shelf!! Last night, my cousin was driving home and heard my song “8th Wonder” on The Bear, in Ottawa… what a thrill to get that message in my inbox this morning. I can feel it, it’s just a matter of time now. I played a show last night and asked the audience if there was anyone out there who heard my songs on the radio, prompting them to come to a live show, and wouldn’t you know it, hands went up!!! Thank you radio!! I can feel a new song coming… Lxo

Greetings you fine people out there. What an incredible Canadian Music Week in Toronto. I had no idea how HUGE this week was going to be. It was an enormous gigantic rush of people in the music industry, all with the same agenda; talk, listen, learn & play!!! What wonderful things to have in common with one another. The energy was great, I just couldn’t believe how friendly and wide-eyed every one seemed to be. There were SO many highlights, I just don’t know where to begin, hence the title of this blog (I always dislike that word, oh blog!!) “To be continued” because I know there will be more moments to add as the weeks go by. I really am still flying…. one things for sure, if you would like to hear a bit of the hustle and bustle and an interview with me including exerpts from my new album “sound” have a listen to CFRB Toronto’s News Talk Radio on the 23rd of March at 6pm. You can also go to their website & have a listen online at www.cfrb.com I will start by telling you about one major highlight and that was: Having the privilege to hear Alanis Morrissette answer some very personal questions, 20 feet away from me!! Yeah, she was interviewed for an hour… and truly spoke to my heart. She is an inspirational creature, spiritual & quite beautiful. Chatting with Garth Hudson of “The Band” was pretty awe inspiring as well. So I will leave you with that wonderful taste in your mouth and write a little later…. Love Lindsay

Bonjour! I had the pleasure of seeing & hearing Ms. M play her heart & soul out at the ACC in Toronto… she was amazing & truly a privilege to see her live, for the first time ever!! What a show, & she played a couple of her new songs too.. they were great. I am quite excited to hear her new album, which isn’t out yet!! Also I checked out a band called “Sterling” last night… EXCELLENT new sound, very cool band… the next best thing!!

Don’t forget, my CMW showcase on the 7th of March… Savannah Room, Toronto. 11pm.

Ciao for now,

Lxo

Hey Folks… that’s right!! My album “Sound” received 4 out of 5 stars in the “Rock/Pop” category & has made it into this years “Best of 2007″ list in The Ottawa Citizen… how cool??? Awesome!!!
Other than that news… I am doing a GREAT show at the end of the month, the 28th of December, at The Black Sheep Inn… it will be just me this time, i.e. no rockin’ band with me, just a quiet intimate beginning to a Funk filled night of dancing… you see, there will be a fantastic Funk band from Toronto heating up the place, featuring members from “King Sunshine” & my very own drummer boy, Mr. Shawn Rompre… they are called “Funktagon” so come on out & have a great night, dancing off all that Turkey dinner!!
On the 20th of December, I will be featured on CKCU, 93.1FM, between 11pm & 12am… lots of Live music, some songs from my new album & some new ones that just might make it onto the next one… with host Charles Anthony, it is a show that you may not want to miss… but I will post it up here just in case you do!!!
Take good care people & spread the Lindsay Live vibe!!
Happy snow daze….

Driving in a flurry of snow & rain & sleet & wind is not my idea of pleasure, the rush of adrenaline that surged through my body at any given time while on the road to sing way pretty cool in the long run though. Mum asked me if driving around in crazy weather just to get to the next dive was all worth it & would I do it again? Yes, indeed, some places smell like 20 year old scotch mixed with cigarettes, and in some bizarre way, it all smells like home to me.
First trip to Oakville to play, I was stolen at the end by some great new friends who kept me awake with the Demos from Nirvana… if that wasn’t pure guts & soul, I don’t know what is. Breakfast in the afternoon over hot coffee and visine eyes is a perfect start to a Saturday night gig in Toronto, where even though there was a blizzard from hell, people showed!! They also bought my new album, not realizing in doing so, paid for all the gas & a little interest on my loan… Thanks so much my good Lindsay Lovers… Sunday was a day of freezing rain & I was off to sing in Guelph… it was a brilliant time to go on tour, it was. I felt a little like a Postman… the show must go on!!!
Even though I spent only a few hours in T.O in total, I think it may be the next step for this girl & her guitar… If anyone out there has any ideas on how to keep the music & soul alive in this singer if she moves to the Big Smoke, don’t hesitate to get in touch…
