Growing up in an artist community, the daughter of loving
hippie parents, in Woodstock NY, the allure of music was never far from Lindsey
Webster. The adorable, instantly likeable and earthy singer/songwriter, who
grew up listening to her parent's Jimi Hendrix, Beatles and Elvis Costello LPs
and later the Supremes, once pursued medical school before finally settling on
music. Webster has been taking the contemporary jazz world by storm, scoring
a #1 hit with her soulful original
"Fool Me Once." This feat is remarkable in numerous ways. Not only is
Lindsey half the age of the male instrumentalists who dominate the genre, but
her #1 is the first vocal driven song that has topped the Billboard smooth jazz
chart since Sade's "Soldier of Love" in 2010. November 2016, Webster made her Shanachie debut with Back To
Your Heart which spawned two #1 hits: "Back To Your Heart" and
"Where Do You Want To Go." Webster's anticipated new CD Love Inside
is scheduled for release March 16th.
Influenced by everyone from Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera
to Steely Dan and Earth Wind and Fire, there is an honesty and authenticity
that reverberates through Lindsey Webster's enchanting, smoky, rich and soulful
honey-toned pipes. Joining forces with her husband, pianist and musical
partner, Keith Slattery, the duo crafts evocative soundscapes that fuse the
best elements of R&B, jazz, pop and soul. "The knowledge, style and
intuition that Keith brings to my songs is amazing," says Lindsey of her
husband. "Keith and I are extremely passionate and sensitive people who
put the same pride and perfectionism into our writing, recording, and
producing. Our philosophy is simple: we do what feels right. I believe this is
what has helped us to forge our own sound."
