"Heaven" is a song I wrote about losing a loved one. I recorded it with just piano and added harmony vocals that I sang as well. Although it is kind of sad, my hope is that it will bring comfort to those who hear it...

Details:
Lindy Gravelle is a singer-songwriter-pianist who began her musical career in Tillamook, Oregon at the "ripe" age of three, singing (and "playing" the ukulele) in the Leonnig Family Band with her father, Ron (vocals & guitar), sisters Leonore (accordion), and Lorraine (piano & vocals), and brothers Ronnie (violin/fiddle), and Roger (drums & vocals). Their repertoire was rooted in country music, with added elements of rockabilly, swing and pop, all of which are still evident in her sound today. The family moved to the Eastern Oregon town of Heppner when Lindy was five. It was there that she spent her formative years, and she still calls Heppner her âhometownâ today.

By the age of eight, Lindy was playing piano and singing as a regular member of the band at the Wagon Wheel, Heppnerâs preeminent restaurant and watering hole, owned and operated by her parents, Aggie and Ron. Among recording artists who were major influences for Lindy at that time were Patsy Cline, Ray Price, Buck Owens, Hank Williams, Sr., Connie Smith, Bob Wills and a multitude of others, in all genres of music. The family eventually sold the Wagon Wheel and moved to McMinnville, OR, where Lindy completed high school while continuing to perform both within school and professionally at various venues throughout Oregon and Washington. It was during her high school years when she started writing and recording her own music and gained notoriety around the Northwest as an "up & coming" star on the country music horizon.

Upon graduation, Lindy decided to leave the Northwest in pursuit of her musical career. In the early 1980âs she was living in the San Francisco Bay Area, performing with her Red Dog Band and opening concerts for various stars, including Michael Martin Murphey, Commander Cody and Hank Williams, Jr. In 1985 she moved to Nashville where she was gainfully employed as a singer, songwriter and performer for 15 years. While there she wrote A Bottle of Wine and Patsy Cline which was recorded by Marsha Thornton on MCA Records and reached the Billboard Magazine Country Top 40 chart. Another of her songs, Exit 99, was featured on Lorrie Morganâs RCA Records' gold-selling album Warpaint.

Lindyâs Oregon roots were strong, and eventually she felt the need to return to her native state. She moved to Central Oregon in 2000, where she continues to reside today. She's still writing and recording music, and performs regularly at venues throughout the Northwest. She currently has eight CDs in her discography.
