biographical info

Lindsay Ferguson, born in Bermuda, raised in Prince Edward County & now living in the Ottawa area, has a voice that can raise the hairs in places that you can't even see. Her voice evokes feeling. It evokes hair-raising. Passion, intensity & your imagination is what Lindsay plays with. She also plays with her guitar, but it is only an accompaniment to her Lovely & inspiring voice. Most people say that she doesn't even need a guitar, but she feels that a life of A Capella singing just won't take off. No one wants to sit through a night of some solo "a capella" song-writer.  Not even with a voice like that.

Lindsay has taken the past few years and put them to good use through travel, insight & worldy experience. Her songs tell the truth. They are real life, pain, pleasure, betrayal, Love, water, late nights, falling stars.

She has performed at various festivals throughout Canada; Blueskies, Ottawa Bluesfest, Atlantic Music Fest, The Waterfront Festival & WESTFEST to name a few.  She has performed on various radio & televison stations; CBC, CTV, Rogers, CKCU to name a few. She has played on MANY stages in Canada, Ireland, California, Bermuda & Switzerland.

Lindsay has just finished recording her first full length CD entitled "SOUND." This will be released in the summer of 2007. She worked on this album with the production mastery & musicality of Mr. David Draves of Little Bullhorn Prods. in Ottawa Ontario.

Lindsay was born to sing. That is why she was born. To sing for all of you is her raison d'etre. It is her whole life & maybe one day her song will seep into you.

i am a singer. i am a writer of songs. i wear my heart on my sleeve, onstage ONLY. i Love the river, ANY river. i have played on stages across canada, in ireland, in bermuda, in california, in switzerland. singing & writing is what i was put on this earth for. i know why i'm here. it's not as easy & blessed as it sounds. having a purpose & knowing it means that if you sit around & be lazy, you KNOW you're wasting time & "wasting time" is frowned upon. so i ride my bike instead. it's not being lazy but it IS wasting time.  when i sing, i sing like i mean it.  i don't try to i just DO. there is no try. recently i worked on a brand new CD. it's really great & i Love it. i've listened to the songs on the CD over 500 times & i still Love it. you should listen to it to someday. i haven't got it out yet. it will be soon though. it is titled "sound". the word "sound" has a few different meanings, the one i was zoning in on has to do with a very common irish expression. "howz the wife?" says lad one. "great, awesome, sound." says lad two. "SOUND" = awesome, grand, Lovely, great, okay, wicked, deadly, right on. "howz Lindsay's new CD?" asks lad three.  "sound" says lad four.

it will be out soon. sooner than later. you just wait. wait for it!!
