ABOUT LINDSAY ELL:
Lindsay Ell is a triple threat: accomplished musician, unique vocalist and songwriter. The 25-year-old Calgary native learned to play guitar while traveling with her father to country-bluegrass camps as a young girl. Ell honed her craft as a musical stylist and songwriter after being discovered by BTO and The Guess Who’s Randy Bachman (“American Woman” / “Taking Care of Business”) who discovered her at the age of 13. The multi-instrumentalist was soon opening for the likes of Buddy Guy and Keith Urban. Most recently, Ell travelled the globe as the opening act for The Band Perry’s “We Are Pioneers” World Tour (50 dates across 12 countries) while her debut single “Trippin’ On Us” earned critical acclaim. Ell has been called “a true triple threat” by Guitar World; “a star in the making” by Taste of Country, “a distinct figure in the modern country recording camp” by Country Weekly and was named one of Rolling Stone Country’s “10 Artists You Need To Know” in Summer 2014. Ell is currently in the studio recording her debut album. http://www.LindsayEll.com
