Passionate, profound, at times hilarious, yet always touching, Lindsey Walker is a force to be reckoned with.
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Lindsey moved out west to Edmonton on a dare over 6 years ago. Lindsey studied jazz performance at Grant MacEwan College, and always being seen as the “rock-and roll rebel” Lindsey never stuck to the norm. Upon graduating from Grant MacEwan, she started touring with Edmonton-based rock and roots bands. It wasn’t until 2011 she had begun perfecting her guitar skills and started playing shows solo. It proved to be the right choice for Lindsey, who played many local festivals, was asked to perform live on local radio and created a devoted mass of fans in less than one year.
In early 2012, Lindsey made a bold move to ask audience and friends for financial contributions to help fund her debut album. Within the 55 days she had allotted for the campaign, she was stunned see that her audience had helped raise more money than what she was asking for. In return they received completed copies of Our Glory, free tickets to shows and even homemade jam by Lindsey herself.
Lindsey officially released Our Glory May 4th 2013 to a packed house at The Artery in Edmonton, which was also the first night of her solo Our Glory tour which had stops in Kelowna, Jasper, Vancouver, Golden, and Winnipeg, among others.
