Vorlage:Use Canadian English Vorlage:Infobox musical artist Lindsay Elizabeth Ell (born 20 March 1989) is a Canadian country music singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Calgary, Alberta.[1] Her music incorporates elements of rock, blues and pop within the country genre. She is signed to the US record label Stoney Creek Records, a sister label of Broken Bow Records.[2] Her debut extended play, Worth the Wait, was released in March 2017.

Early life

Lindsay Ell was born in Calgary.[3] She started playing the piano at six, until she discovered her father's collection of guitars scattered throughout the house, switching at age eight; "I fell in love with the guitar," says Lindsay. "It's a huge part of who I am."[4] Lindsay fell in love with the blues and started songwriting at age 10.[5] Ell was valedictorian for her class at Bishop Carroll High School (Calgary, Alberta), from which she graduated a year early. She went on to study business at the University of Calgary and music at the Berklee College of Music, in addition to pursuing her music career.[3][6]

Career

Randy Bachman discovered Ell when she was only 15 years old.[7] Bachman described her as "the most talented and multi-faceted artist I've come across in many years".[8] Bachman co-wrote and produced her first album Consider This.[9] It was recorded at Bachman's studio on Saltspring Island, and Ell herself co-wrote most of the 11 songs.[3] The album was released in 2006 on Bachman's record label Ranbach Music and distributed by Fontana North.[10] Ell toured with blues guitarist Buddy Guy in 2008.[11][12] On her 2009 album, Alone, she moved to a more acoustic sound compared to her debut.[5][11]

It was her first songwriting trip to Nashville that brought her full circle to her country roots.[13] She travelled back and forth from Calgary to Nashville for a couple years to participate in songwriting sessions while playing as many live shows as she could to hone her craft.[14] At the age of 21, she permanently moved to Nashville and signed with the US-based record label Stoney Creek Records.[14]

In December 2013, her first official single, "Trippin' on Us", debuted as the most added song for country music radio in both Canada and the United States with over 50 first week adds.[15] Ell has since been called "a true triple threat" by Guitar World; "a star in the making" by Taste of Country and "a distinct figure in the modern country recording camp" by Country Weekly.[16]

Lindsay is a guitarist whose style has been influenced by John Mayer, Keith Urban, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tommy Emmanuel, Chet Atkins, Buddy Guy, Randy Bachman, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix.[17][18] She typically plays a custom Les Paul Goddess and Martin acoustic guitars.[19] She is an official Martin Guitar artist.[20]

Lindsay made her Grand Ole Opry debut on 15 April 2014 and has since made several appearances on the show.[19]

On March 24, 2017, Lindsay will release her debut EP, Worth the Wait, featuring six songs, one of which is a cover of John Mayer's "Stop This Train."[21] "Worth the Wait shows off Ell’s talent in all capacities, as a guitarist, vocalist and songwriter," wrote Sounds Like Nashville in a review of the project.[22]

Tours

Lindsay Ell was selected by The Band Perry to open for their "We Are Pioneers World Tour" which included 50 dates throughout Europe and North America during 2013 and 2014.[24] She has also supported tours with Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, Buddy Guy, Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson, Ronnie Dunn, Paul Brandt and Chris Isaak.[25]
