7 Stones - Live at the Lah Lah Lounge
Rain - Live at the Lah Lah Lounge
Classically trained cellist and singer-songwriter Lindsay Mac offers a fresh look at acoustic music by combining folk/pop structure with plucked and bowed cello. Wonderfully diverse and memorable, her music has roots in jazz, folk, Americana, funk and rock while not tasting like any specific genre.
Lindsay has opened for KD Lang at Bostons Bank of America Pavilion, "folk godess" Catie Curtis at Pittsburgh's South Park Amphitheater and Daemon Records' group Girlyman. She made her 'cover girl' debut, donning the cover of Strings Magazine in its February 2006 issue.
Lindsay is now touring nationally in support of her debut album, Small Revolution - aptly named as Mac straps her cello to her body in order to play and sing on stage. Contributing their thoughtful and unique voices to the album are two-time Grammy-winning cellist, Eugene Friesen, famous fiddler, Matt Glaser (Rounder Records The Wayfaring Strangers), and pianist Tim Ray (Bonnie Raitt, Lyle Lovett, Jane Siberry).
Born and raised by hard-working, party-hungry, bohemian parents in Iowa, Lindsay was fed pork tenderloin and Midwestern microbrews for breakfast (this accounts for her wholesome good looks and generally bad breath). Lindsay then set out to receive her training at The Royal College of Music in London, The San Francisco Conservatory and Berklee College of Music in Boston before eventually trading her seat in the symphony for the vagabond life of a touring singer/songwriter. Playing over 150 shows per year in the US and Canada, Mac is revolutionizing the way we think about the cello while also expanding the definition of what we know the folk/singer-songwriter genre to be.
Mac has been featured on Nashvilles NBC-affiliate television series, Spotlight ON: Performing Songwriters and Good Morning Live on New England Cable News. Her image appears in Guitar World, Performing Songwriter, Women Who Rock, and Harp magazines as a part of a promotion deal with the Fostex Corporation. Miss Mac has even kept up her bowing technique enough to play with jazz bass legend Charlie Haden and saxophonist Michael Brecker in Carnegie Hall as part of the JVC Jazz Festival.
