Details:
Lindi Wiggins is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was composing songs within the first two weeks of picking up a guitar, and performing them in Charlotte, NC bars almost as quickly. She wrote of broken relationships, insecurities, and fears, and defined (or at least came to a better understanding of) her person by exploring the disparity between home and family, duty and want, and religion and belief through music. Nearly fifteen years later, Lindi is so well acquainted with her lyrical voice that the words and music seem to spill out of her like water these days. Listening to Lindi's music is like reconnecting with an old friend, someone who knows what's in your heart and head and had the intuition and know-how to divine those things and put them in a song.

As a child in North Carolina, Lindi was plagued with the question of whether to be a country or rock-and-roll singer, fearing that abandoning her Smokey Mountain roots would cause some familial rift between progressives and old timers, gum chewers and skoal dippers. Today Lindi's sound speaks of country and a little bit rock-and-roll and a lot in between with influences ranging from Dolly Parton to Radiohead to Lauryn Hill. Lindi imbibes any and all music that's "from the heart" and seeks to create the same with her own songwriting. And she does. Lindi writes with a no holds barred mentality - no experience, emotion, or idea is too sacred to share if it generates "pure" music.
