You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll call your
therapist. That is straight from Lindsay White’s bio. She’s a
songwriting machine, who’s been recognized by the likes of the
Teullride Bluegrass Festival, Kerrville Folk
Festival, Guitar World, and
American
Songwriter Magazine. In our chat for this episode of
the podcast, Lindsay shares that she’s had a life long thing with
anxiety. I believe she leans into her anxiety. The result is great
music fueled by genuine emotion. Lindsay also kindly discusses
songwriting, a songwriters book club, her BFF producer, her desire
to perform more festivals and tour smarter, boxing, basketball,
journaling, her first two albums (released in 2010 and 2017), her
forthcoming album (maybe out in 2019), rebranding herself as a
solo-artist, insomnia, self-talk, hope, perspective, and
healing.
Queen of the side hustle
Lindsay jokingly refers to herself as the queen of side hustle. Not too unlike yours truly, she’s dabbled in several vocations. In Lindsay’s case, it’s a means of using her marketing talents to keep her music career alive. This topic speaks to the challenge of a musicians life.
Life, loss & love
Lindsay is passionate about life, her past, loss, love, and the world around us. She’ll tell you she’s become a raging feminist in light of current events. Delightful and crazy talented are the words I think best describe her.
Featured track
