If you’ve been looking for that energetic and fierce 90’s country sound from iconic artists like Reba, Wynonna, and Martina McBride, I’m proud to introduce you to a new force in the music industry, Lindsay Bowman.
Lindsay grew up in Seaford, Virginia, later relocating to Danville, Virginia. She started singing at age 4, making her solo debut at her grandmother’s church in Danville. Growing up, Lindsay performed anywhere she could get ahold of a microphone, including the church, school, festivals, and also singing the National Anthem at Virginia International Raceway, Langley Speedway, South Boston Speedway, and Martinsville Speedway.
“I’ve been singing since age four. I made my solo debut at my grandmother’s church in Virginia,” explains Lindsay. “I’ve always been most comfortable with a microphone in my hand and on a stage. So I knew as a kid this was a dream I wanted to pursue.“
For the last seven years, Lindsay was part of a popular Nashville duo, Smoke ‘n Guns, traveling across the US playing at venues in Alabama, Virginia, Texas, Ohio, Illinois, and more. The duo had the privilege to open for many national acts, such as Dustin Lynch, The Oak Ridge Boys, Mark Wills, Danielle Bradbery, and Diamond Rio.
“Being a part of a duo for seven years was a great learning experience. I grew so much personally and as an artist,” explains Lindsay. “It was truly a blessing to be able to travel the country and perform for folks all over. We had a great time as Smoke ‘n Guns and we still play together every once in a while because we have so much fun!“
Now, as a solo country artist, Lindsay is continuing to perform in Nashville and across the US sharing her love of country music – old and new. Recently, Lindsay released her first release since departing from the duo titled You Don’t Get To Know.
“I was going through a hard time with a recent breakup when I went in for a co-write with Liz Anne Hill. She knew about the situation, so she asked how it was going and it turned in to sort of a therapy session,” explained Lindsay. “I explained how my ex had been still reaching out to me, asking where I was and who I was with, and one day, I finally told him “you don’t get to know these things anymore.” And I was like “okay, write that down!” And as we were talking, she started writing, and it all came together in about two hours.“
With the success of her debut solo release, Lindsay isn’t slowing down anytime soon. As she continues to keep her career in full force, she’s prepping for a special release later this Summer.
“I’m looking forward to releasing my second single later this summer, Love Me Like You Used To,” explains Lindsay. “I wrote it with Pete Sallis, and while it’s a slower song and a change from my first single, it’s also based on a true story. So, I hope that it will be relatable and I can connect with a lot of people.“
