Career

Lindsay Ell began her musical journey at age 15 when Randy Bachman, of The Guess Who, discovered her talent and co-wrote and produced her debut album, Consider This (2006), recorded at his Saltspring Island studio.

Signing with Stoney Creek Records in 2013, Ell released her debut EP, Worth the Wait (2017), featuring a John Mayer cover, and her first full-length album, The Project (2017), which debuted at number one on the Billboard Country Album Sales chart.

Her single “Criminal” became Canada’s first female-led country chart-topper in a decade, while her 2019 duet with Brantley Gilbert, “What Happens in a Small Town,” hit number one on the U.S. Country Airplay chart.

She toured with Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, and Shania Twain, earning praise for her guitar prowess and stage presence. Her 2020 album, Heart Theory, explored personal trauma through the seven stages of grief.

In 2023, Ell parted ways with Stoney Creek Records and released the single “Sweet Spot,” followed by her 2024 EP Love Myself, marking her pop music debut with “Story I Tell Myself.”

She joined Shania Twain’s Queen of Me Tour as a support act in 2023 and as lead guitarist for Twain’s 2024 Las Vegas residency.
