When you buy tickets to a concert, how often do you know the support acts on tour? And how likely is it that you went to a show for an artist you love, and you left that night as a fan of the opener too? If you have seen Lindsey Lomis perform, that surely was the case. Her voice and overall stage presence takes people by surprise, but her energy and enormous talent makes them come back to see her again. And her music is a connecting force that has turned strangers into friends and it surely speaks to a universal audience.
We all use music as a form of therapy and everyone has their comfort playlist that includes artists who help them cope. While Lindsey’s songs are upbeat and fun, a lot of her fans found her music when they needed it the most, and it has pulled them out of places they didn’t know they could get out of. And it’s one of the reasons why it has become part of their daily routines, always playing in the background no matter what they’re doing. Imagine driving somewhere with a friend and screaming every lyric with the windows down. If that’s not therapeutic – besides screaming it at a concert – I don’t know what is.
It’s crazy to think how you and your favorite artist can live completely different lives, while still experiencing the same things. You don’t have to necessarily connect to the exact story of a song, but you can usually adapt it to your own life when you understand the meaning behind it. But it takes an authentic, honest and talented songwriter to achieve that connection, which is exactly how Lindsey is described by her fans. It’s so beautiful to see the appreciation she has for anyone supporting her and the time she takes to meet them.
Growing as an artist while staying humble is the key to a long lasting career. With her being such a powerhouse, extremely creative, genuine and passionate, there is no doubt in my mind that Lindsey is on her way to great success. And when you have such a strong, caring and very hard working female team around you, nothing’s gonna stop you. I was fortunate enough to meet Lindsey in person – when she opened up for (the) JoJo on tour – and got to connect with her on my podcast later on. She has such a bright aura around her, she is super funny, very thoughtful and makes everyone around her feel loved, even if you have never met before. If you wanna experience it yourself, be captured by her stage presence, feel the spark and have a great time – and you are based in the US/Canada (or are willing to travel there) – you can go buy tickets to her first headline tour right now.
We all love listening to music and we have our favorite artists on repeat, always looking forward to new shows to attend. If Lindsey hasn’t been on your radar yet, this is your sign to press play on her music and follow her journey. Because she is just getting started and the good news is that there is so much more coming your way, so give her a chance and let her guide you through the madness of life and into her sparkling universe.
