Hi friends!

This is a little delayed... I had every intention of writing some kind of "tour blog" while on the road, but found no time. Jamie Rumley & I had some wicked fun playing shows in western Canada over the last month, and I didn't want to come home.

Thanks to all the venues and their fabulous staff & crowds! I felt so fortunate at every show to have you there & can't wait to head west again soon.

If you wished you could have been there, and/or would like to hear some brand new tunes from the upcoming new album with the full band (featuring some of the 'Peg's coolest musicians)... please don't miss the big Jazz Fest show this Tuesday!

We're on right at noon in Old Market Square; playing until 1pm. The weather should be great so, bring or buy yourself some lunch & come groove with us!

Making music is the thing that makes the most sense to me in the whole world...
Thanks for listening.

Hi friends!

Thought I would update you on a few quick things…

As some of you know, things have been changing at an unusual rate in my life lately.
… a slow, good rate. I’m taking breaks from several musical projects; resigned from singing a cappella with my good friends – “Mindset”, and today is my last day as a piano teacher, indefinitely! It has been difficult to disconnect myself from the thousands of endeavours I so want to be a part of, but the resulting space in my life has created breathing-room for several exciting new things.

The first of which is… *drum-roll please*… the Compilation Tour 2008 which kicks off next Wednesday, May 21st in Brandon. My good friend and fellow funky-folk-rocker, Jamie Rumley is hitting the road with me for about 3 weeks; performing in Alberta & BC. I’m excited to see family and take time away from the day job to just enjoy playing music and make new connections in Western Canada. If you would like to help Jamie & I pack out our shows, please feel free to check out our dates & spread the word if you know anyone out west. We appreciate your support!

Also, the band & I are continuing to record preliminary tracks of brand new tunes to be released later this year! Mitch Dorge, Alasdair Dunlop & I are having tremendous fun with the bursts of creativity and moments of insanity in the studio. More info on this will soon follow. I really look forward to sharing some of the new song ideas that have grown and morphed since last summer’s CD release.

(As a side note – you can still purchase “This is Now.” at any live show, online or check the website for a list of local retailers.)

If you’d like to hear the new stuff performed live with the full band – please come out to our showcase at the 2008 Groove FM Jazz Winnipeg Festival at noon on June 24th! We’re playing outdoors in Old Market Square with some good friends singing backup vocals for me (Charmaine & Mac from Mindset, and featuring FLO!) and Neil Watson on sax. I promise it is going to be a FUNKY show you won’t want to miss!!

On a personal note, I have so much to be grateful for right now: so many of my friends and family have graciously given me incredible patience and support that has allowed me to change, refocus and pursue music. You know who you are. From the bottom of my heart – thank you.

On March 26th Lindsey will be a part of this:

Guess what?

Lindsey’s delightful new friends, Polly & Mick Paulusma, have asked to use a brand new original song in their movie, ‘Clear Lake’, being shot in Winnipeg this spring! This previously unreleased song, entitled ‘Equinox’, is so new, the band is scheduled to record it this spring, but you may have heard it live!

If not, you can hear it TONIGHT, March 11th at Mona Lisa’s on Corydon! Polly and Lindsey will be performing with other artists (starting at 8pm) as part of a fundraising event for Clear Lake.

Please come and support a true work of art soon to be born out of our great City. If you haven't yet heard THE one and only Polly Paulusma, the time has come!! Check her out at www.pollypaulusma.com

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE!!!

If I may, a freestyle poem in honour of Kelly's birth, 25 years ago:

Since the eve' of that fateful day,

When Kelly's coolness came my way

And barbeque we did like pro's

I think, on the balcony (I suppose?)

I have often wondered how and why

This chick (so much cooler than I)

Could instantly become such a good friend

With creativity enough to lend…

And TALENTS and "NQ" GALORE!

(she keeps gaining all the more)

Don't ask me what that last part means

It RHYMES! Isn't that enough? … cool beans?

Anyway, what I was SAYing,

(aside from the word games I'm playing)

Is that aside from the good times & fun,

I could never repay all she has done.

Believing in my music before I did

Makes her a special kind of kid

(that, AND an INSANE ability to rock,

With a LES PAUL she'll never hock!)

So today, my friend - I take a stand!

Before I kick butt tonight at ROCK BAND,

I must give credit where it's due

And take time enough to honour YOU!

Thanks for all the laughs, the games, the cribbage, the beer,

The food, the jamming, the guitar lending… the WEBSITE… etc. etc. etc.

You may remember all you have done, but you'll probably never know how much I truly appreciate it.

This Saturday night, the Park Theatre will be hosting a one-time show featuring an incredibly diverse array of talent ranging from folk/roots & blues to funk, rock, soul and maybe even a little country! The Lindsey White Band is opening a triple bill followed by Canadian touring artist Rob Lutes and Manitoba blues/rock heroes The Peacemakers!! THREE acts for just $15 - wow!

Rob Lutes' latest album "Ride The Shadows" was just named one of the top 10 Canadian albums of 2007 alongside acts like The Arcade Fire, Feist and Patrick Watson. Do your ears a favour & check him OUT!

Also, donations will be accepted on behalf of Winnipeg Harvest! Harvest supports over 18,000 (monthly) of the 49,000 Winnipeg children living in poverty. So please bring either a non perishable food item or cash for donations and be eligible to win a cool door prize!!

More exciting news to come; but that’s all for now, everyone… thanks for listening!

Hello my friends!

An exciting last minute show has been added TOMORROW - February 22nd!
For those of you who are thinking, "whadda ya mean - last minute? Linz has had a show booked tomorrow for a loooong time... what's up with that?"

I have great news. You're right!

Friday (tomorrow) at lunch time between 12:15 - 12:45 the band & I will be playing some cool cover songs and rockin' original tunes in support of the U2 3D event that Portage Place is coordinating. Guitar hero will be played on a massive screen once we're done, and a whole bunch of other cool things are being organized. If you're downtown - don't MISS IT!

THEN, Friday NIGHT (also tomorrow), fellow folk-rocker Jeremy Wells & I are opening solo for Mindset at Tryst on Pembina! Show starts at 9pm and it's Mindset's last gig with the fabulous Elisha Dacey before she ditches us for her Kelowna career! Truly a once-in-a-lifetime gig...






AND THEN - on Saturday the band & I will be rocking Tryst for a "Hitch Party"! It's a cool singles event with a $5 cover that is guaranteed not to be lame... I promise. (no, really... )

Too much music for the average bear? Perhaps. But I have so many awesome musicians and vocalists joining me in the next 2 days, that I can barely contain my excitement.

More good things are almost ready to announce so, check back for details on recording & touring SOON!

Stay warm, and thanks for listening,

*Linz

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Thought I'd let you know that the amazingly funky James Hiebert (of the Peacemakers/Shouting Ground) is officially a confirmed special vocal guest in tonight's big show! (but shh, it's a surprise)

Also showing up at the King's Head to help give the stage some ear candy are: Charmaine & James Bloomfield, Mac Taruc, Olu Badejo, Kelli Edson AND the fabulous Alex Bugeac on drums for one night only!

I know some of you have other plans, but I think the windchill warning gives you permission to break them, or at least INCLUDE our hot little show in your weekend. :) he he

Oh, and for those I haven't told yet - I'm in need of some new promo photos so, *cough, cough* if anyone HAPPENS to shoot anything high res & cool and wants a free CD...

We're rocking all night until 1:30 & if you're not a member, it's only a one-time-only $5 fee.

Thanks for listening & hope to see ya there!

*Linz

Evidently, Winnipeg has been spoiled by the recent "warm spell"...
and now -40 is too cold for the radio show to go on!

So, Mr. Howard Mandshein & I will be yacking next Monday on 101.5 ...not today. :)

If you're near technology, go here to listen live! http://www.umfm.com/listen_online.shtml

Just thought I'd pass on the update.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled program!

Thanks for listening,

Hi & Happy New Year, my friends!

There are so many cool things happening right NOW in the world of my music; I wanted to pass on as much as possible to keep you in the loop. However, as most of my friends are well aware of, my tendency to ramble often gets me in trouble so, here is a stripped down version: “my music in a nutshell!”

First of all… LINDSEYWHITE.COM has been given a mega cool facelift! (*cough, cough* Kelly rules for making me look so cool… )

The LWB
I’m pumped to announce (for those of you who don’t already know) that Alasdair Dunlop is now ‘officially’ our very own groovy bass player! He brings a lot of musical experience, talent and FUN to our project and seems to have an infinite supply of great ideas. I know Neil (Schipper) & I are both excited to work with him.

In other news (drum roll please)… we’re also DRUMMER SHOPPING! Yep. It’s official. There are already a few people who have expressed interest in joining our gang but if you know someone who you think might have tremendous fun rocking with us, please pass on my info & tell them to drop me a line!

Expedition & Inspiration
The plan was to take the month of December off from performing to regroup, start planning a tour, and write some new songs. Don’t ask me how but, that’s exactly what seems to have happened! Despite the Christmas “commotion” (& overtime at the day job) I’ve somehow managed to put together 6 brand new songs and look at some pretty cool gigs for this year. (A lot of which aren’t anywhere in Manitoba!) More details to follow…

“This is Now.”
Judging by the number of people asking me where they can buy the new CD, I evidently haven’t done a great job of advertising where it is available!

Pick up your copy locally for only $15 bucks at McNally Robinson, Candor Books & Music, The Park Theatre, Music Trader, The Winnipeg Folk Festival Music Store, and online here: www.manitobacdsource.ca

Coming Up…
Friday, January 18th, 2008 the band is rocking the KING’S HEAD PUB with special guests: Alex Bugeac on drums, James & Charmaine Bloomfield on harmonica & vocals (respectively) and possibly a couple of other surprises! Don’t miss the unveiling of a few new songs and some hot funky music.

I’ll be talking about the show with Howard Mandshein on his UMFM “Free Range Radio” spot on Monday, January 14th at around 7pm. (Go here to listen live! www.umfm.com/listen_online.shtml) It is rumoured that Sheena Grobb might even stop by! She is one of my absolute favourite local songwriters and an incredibly cool chick besides.

Also, come on down to Mona Lisa’s (on Corydon) on Tuesday, January 15th for a sneak peak at some of the new stuff to be unveiled at the King’s Head!

Well, I guess I did end up rambling after all. (Oops!) I apologize that with so many new things happening, and personal issues waging war for my time, I haven’t kept in touch with some of you as often as I’d like. I hope to change this in the New Year and thank you SO much for your continued support. If I had to do this music thing all by myself, I would have given up a long time ago.

Hoping you settle for nothing less than the very best in 2008,

*Linz

“I may be stronger than I’ve ever been…” (From “Stronger” – by Lindsey White)

“If anyone asked me what my picks were for artists who are going to take off in 2008, I’d say Sheena Grobb and Lindsey White” (Howard Mandshein of 92 CITI FM & UMFM)

"Tastier than Meat Loaf" (Broose Tulloch of 92.9 KICK FM )

Just a quick reminder about the band's first gig of 2008 on January 18th at the King's Head.

Lindsey White dot com is now sporting a new look!
There are still a few things to be done on the new site so please be patient.

If you don't have the time to browse the whole site right now, you can head over to Lindsey's Myspace to hear some tunes.

You can also find out more about Lindsey White with her electronic press kit on Sonicbids.com
