Lindsay Lawler is no stranger to the music scene as she has been performing all over the country from a young age. Lawler was born in Oklahoma and raised in Texas. She began singing in the church and at various country venues throughout the South. While attending the University of Oklahoma, she fronted a rock and roll band that recorded and toured the Southwest. After graduation Lawler packed up and moved out West to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of being on stage. Quickly she joined the band Ciattic that she fronted for packed houses all along the Sunset Strip. Lawler never ceased to amaze audiences with her powerful vocals and stellar stage presence at the likes of the famous Whisky-A-Go-Go, Viper Room and The Roxy. In addition, her band recorded a full-length album and toured subsequently. Lindsay Lawler was then discovered in LA by producers Marshall and London Jones (Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, Marcos Hernandez). She recorded several songs for them, one of which received airplay across the country and another that was sought after by the WB. It was shortly after that Lawler saw a void of passion in her music and quickly decided to return to her roots. She has since relocated to Nashville, TN and is currently writing, recording, and performing downtown. She currently can be seen on stage at the famous Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge on Broadway. Lawler’s true charisma is personified in front of a crowd…it is a live performance you won’t want to miss! In addition to her music, Lindsay Lawler is known to many for her radio personality. She has been featured for several years on the nationally syndicated Kidd Kraddick in the Morning show based out of Dallas and broadcast to almost 70 markets. The show continues to support Lindsay and has featured several of her tracks. An exceptionally strong live performer, Lindsay Lawler exudes classic charisma & sensuality on the big stage, captivating audiences of all demographics. Expect to see big things from this performer in the coming years. That Nashville Sound had an opportunity to sit down with the lovely Miss Lawler for an interview about her career in music... You can listen to her HERE.That Nashville Sound- What brought you to Nashville?
Lindsey Lawler- I came to Nashville in 2007. I was living in Los Angeles at the time and was brought here by a manager and producer to cut a demo. I have since parted ways with that group, but feel blessed it happen as it got me here and back to my country music roots which I am now heavily pursuing.
TNS- Looking over your career thus far, what do you rank as a couple of the highlights?
LL- I currently sing at Tootsie's in downtown Nashville which has led me to meet so many wonderful, interesting people. It has become such a big part of my Nashville experience. I have also gotten the chance to play at the likes of Whisky-A-Go Go and Viper Room in Los Angeles, as well as sing alongside several big name performers. I am currently writing and working with some great writers in Nashville and looking forward to recording a new EP this spring, which we will be showcasing this summer. It's an exciting time!
TNS- What might people be surprised to find out about you?
LL- I would say one of the most surprising things that people tell me is that they are shocked when they hear such a big voice coming out of such a little person. I always love hearing that!
TNS-What kind of music are you listening to? What's in your iPod?
LL- I love Miranda Lambert (and she's a fellow Texan!!). I'm also a huge Sugarland, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban fan as far as country goes, so they're all in the ole ipod. Outside of country, I'm also a big fan of Pink, but also have Billy Joel and the Black Crows in my CD changer today.
TNS- If you had a crystal ball and looked forward ten years, what do you see for yourself?LL- I see myself in 10 years still living in Nashville and still making music. Definitely writing much more as the years go by as well, both for myself and others. I have really started to connect with that aspect of the business as there's nothing better in the world than watching one of your songs come together. I plan being around in country music for a long time to come. It's such a great genre due to it's longevity that other formats don't necessarily give all artists. Come see me at Tootsie's!
