Mick Lindsay Band
At 22 years of age, Mick Lindsay is astounding audiences nationwide
with an untimely professional maturity.
Lindsay's musicianship is second to none, and his refreshing brand of
"Country-fried rock" is fast being recognised as his signature style.
A self-taught guitarist, Mick hit the music scene in 2003
with all the momentum of a freight train.
Lindsay first came to light in "The Telstra Road to Tamworth".
This was a fantastic springboard.
He was a grand finalist in 2005, which allowed him to showcase
some finely honed vocal chops, and `rhythm and lead' guitar skills that would leave
"Johnny B. Good," hanging his head in shame.
The Road to Tamworth, lead to regular appearances on CMC
that quickly put him on the map.
Having been handpicked as one of 21 artists from throughout Australia & New Zealand to attend the CMAA, (College of Country Music,) saw this hell bent country rocker emerge with a series of original songs under his belt.
Mick says he has been humbled at the support of his audiences for his original work.
Saying, they have been received most enthusiastically.
Mick has opened shows for various headline acts -
Most recently opening for, Australia's rock icon Ross Wilson of "Daddy Cool" fame. "
Established country crooner, Brendon Walmsley says -
"He is a gifted guitarist and vocalist with a natural stage presence"
"Mick is young, eager and a natural" (Radio: River 949)
Unafraid of sounding contemporary without completely abandoning his country roots,
Lindsay is equally at home with country, rock, and pop.
Despite the hard-hitting, up-tempo numbers, he infuses every song
with his own distinctive country flavour, and undeniable twang.
His band is tight, and they display a vigour that will stand up to the most discerning music critics. This rough-and-tumble band is well seasoned and pours their heart and soul into every live set.
And if you think country is all "He Haw" and yawn, you're in for a pleasant surprise!
Mick Lindsay can fill a floor in 0.6 seconds with revellers from ages 6 to 60,
when he adds his own funky grit to (his new-traditionalist version) of the Merle Haggard classic, "Workin` Man Blues".
If you have not seen Mick Lindsay live, you had better keep your eye`s peeled!
This is one Aussie Rebel with a serious cause - Get ready!
