Transcription

Early life

Lindsay is from Portland, Oregon.[1] He moved to Charlotte, North Carolina in the early 1990s. His father is a Episcopalian minister and transferred to a church in Charlotte.[2] Lindsay attended West Charlotte High School. He then studied English at Queens University of Charlotte,[2] and received an MFA in fiction writing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.[2]

Music career

After graduation, his music has been used in Haven and MTV Cribs, Employee of the Month, and various commercials.[3]

Lindsay began his career playing and singing in Benji Hughes, as well as fronting his own rock bands The Catch Fire and The Young Sons.[4] Lindsay produced the debut album "Hearts Inc" for The Young Sons in 2007; the group disbanded in 2008.[5]

Escape From Plaza-Midwood

Lindsay signed to Chicago-based label Chocolate Lab Records in May 2010.[6] He made his solo debut with the release of his 15-song LP record Escape From Plaza-Midwood on August 17, 2010.[7][8] The title is a reference to the Plaza-Midwood neighborhood where Lindsay lived and a failed suburb by University of North Carolina at Charlotte where he grew up.[9][10] Concurrent with the album release was the 7-inch EP Coping Strategies, which features four songs from Escape From Plaza-Midwood.[11]

Shawn Haney for Performer wrote, "One of the best records to come out of the Southeast over the course of the decade, it’s full of life, bleeding with happiness and melancholy at the same time."[12] Spencer Griffith for Indy Week wrote that the album is "a sprawling opus of pop rock splendor."[13] Freeden Oeur of PopMatters gave the album an 8.[14]

Justin Gerber for Consequence Of Sound wrote, "It isn’t a bad album, but the lesson to be learned here is that there’s no shame in keeping it simple."[15]

Other works

Following Escape, Lindsay toured the US for most of 2011, both solo and with his backing band. He also signed a music publishing deal with North Star Media, performed at several festivals, and began preparations for his next releases: the EP Could It Be Christmas?, which has a loose holiday theme (November 29, 2011); Rumormill, the debut LP of Lindsay's side project The Catch Fire (No More Fake Labels, December 6, 2011).[16][17][18][19][20][21]

Lindsay's LP Summer Wilderness Program was released on June 26, 2012.[1] The music video for the album's third single “Oceans More” used 3-D information captured through the Microsoft Kinect.[1]

Lindsay performed a Daytrotter Session on January 27, 2012,[22] and a second Daytrotter Session on November 15, 2013.[23]

On October 26, 2015, The Indy Weekly premiered "All Them Houses", the first single from Lindsay's Cities & Schools LP.[24] The track was released digitally on November 6, 2015. On November 24, 2015, Paste Magazine premiered "Lifer", the second single from the Cities LP.[25] The Cities & Schools LP was released on June 10, 2016.[26][27] The record received the support of both full-band and solo US and European tour dates.[28][29] Big Takeover premiered the video for "Little Queen Drum Machine" on June 26, 2016.[4]

On December 22, 2017, File 13 released "Zebulon", a single from Lindsay which features a horn arrangement written and performed by Matt Douglas of The Mountain Goats. The song's narrative is delivered from the point-of-view of a racist southern farmer. Lindsay described the song as "psychedelic gospel pop".[30][31][32]

Political activism

Lindsay is known for his political work, having released various songs in response to different political and social events.[33][34]

Lindsay and Caitlin Cary of Whiskeytown co-founded the North Carolina Music Love Army, a non-profit music collective, in late June 2013 in support of the Moral Mondays protests.[35][36] Caitlin Cary reached out to Lindsay to form the group after watching the video for his song "NC GOP Just Don't Know Me" on YouTube. Lindsay was inspired to create the song after viewing Django Haskins's song "We Are Not for Sale".[37] The group recruited 40 members by July.[38] They released the 10-track vinyl "We Are Not for Sale: Songs of Protest" on November 26, 2013, with proceeds being donated to progressive groups in North Carolina.[37] Lindsay was producing and directing the album.[39] Performers on the album included Tift Merritt, Hiss Golden Messenger, The Love Language, American Aquarium, and Jon Shain.[39][36] The NC Music Love Army also released a song in response to the death of Lennon Lacy.[3]

Lindsay was part of a group of 24 artists who performed in protest of the Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act.[33][40][41] In December 2016, Lindsay organized and performed at "Hate Free By The Sea" in Wilmington, NC, a benefit concert in support of a UNCW student who received threats after being bullied by a faculty member because of her race, religion, and sexual orientation.[42]
