Lindsay Mac: A Plucked Cello Revolution; and Jimmy Tingle

Classically trained cellist and singer-songwriter Lindsay Mac offers a fresh look at acoustic music by combining folk/pop structure with plucked and bowed cello. Wonderfully diverse and memorable, her music has roots in jazz, folk, Americana, funk and rock while not tasting like any specific genre.

Lindsay has opened for KD Lang at Boston’s Bank of America Pavilion, “folk godess” Catie Curtis at Pittsburgh’s South Park Amphitheater and Daemon Records’ group Girlyman. She made her ‘cover girl’ debut, donning the cover of Strings Magazine in its February 2006 issue.

Lindsay is now touring nationally in support of her debut album, Small Revolution — aptly named as Mac straps her cello to her body in order to play and sing on stage. Contributing their thoughtful and unique voices to the album are two-time Grammy-winning cellist, Eugene Friesen, famous fiddler, Matt Glaser (Rounder Records’ The Wayfaring Strangers), and pianist Tim Ray (Bonnie Raitt, Lyle Lovett, Jane Siberry).
