Articulate,
soulful guitarist Joe Lindsay smoothly grooves through jazz, funk, rock and
blues with an abundance of feeling and flow, expertly expressing his personal
journey and life’s diverse experiences. His ability to imprint his own
distinctive style on a multitude of genres with refined sensitivity illustrates
his extensive training and deep understanding of the musical universe. And his
proficiency and professionalism are the products of formal study and his many
experiences co-writing and collaborating live and in the studio with R&B
legends including James Brown, Roy C and Howard Hewett, jazz stars Ronnie Laws,
Brian Simpson and Tom Browne and exciting multi-dimensional artists like Ki-C
& JoJo, Anthony Hamilton, Calvin Richardson and Stephanie Mills, plus countless
others.
As a solo performer and seasoned recording artist, he strives to
constantly reinvent his sound and consistently introduce his instrument to
delightfully unexpected territory in order to expand the horizons of the
imagination. His energetic performances, resonant recordings and
gracefully-written original tunes are evocative of the timeless, talented
artists that have made an enduring impression on him, such as Curtis Mayfield,
Buddy Guy, Larry Carlton, Prince, Hiram Bullock and Miles Davis.
Rooted
in Charlotte, North Carolina and educated at the prestigious Berklee College of
Music in Boston, Lindsay was first moved by music in his church, where his
mother regularly played the piano and sang. Inspired from the moment he
discovered his father’s vast collection of records and 8-track tapes, his
passion for guitar was ignited as he hung on every note while his neighbor
played on the porch next door. Ever since those earliest illuminating moments,
Lindsay has devoted himself to perfecting the fine art of songwriting,
performing, recording and managing his own destiny as a professional musician,
throwing himself whole-heartedly into the challenge of creating and learning
about the guitar and music’s infinite possibilities. Bolstered by his desire to
craft memorable melodies and harmonies that awaken every vibrant emotion and
speak the exquisite mysteries of his heart, he has made it his mission to
perform music that makes the soul feel good.
