Lindsey Shields is a singer and songwriter with her own take on things personal and political, on topics as diverse as MIQ, Harrison Ford, love, war and the menopause. An avid traveller,
Lindsey has been a guest at the Australian National Folk festival in Canberra and the Vancouver Island Music Fest. She has featured at the Auckland Folk Festival and performed at several other New Zealand folk music festivals. She has completed two tours of New
Zealand folk music venues and has also performed at house concerts and folk gatherings in the UK.
​
Lindsey's home base is near Dunedin, NZ, where she has been involved in the music scene for some years as a member of the Irish band Erin St. at their weekly Albar session, the a cappella group Rhonda and the Ravers featuring vocal harmonies, frocks and choreographed fun and Folkalyptica, as well as singing jazz standards with the Dunedin City Jazz Orchestra, performing, recording and touring with the Pioneer Pog ‘n’ Scroggin Bush Band and playing in the Central Otago duo Fandango.
​
Her solo performances feature strong vocals, varied melodies and distinctive guitar style. In her songs no topic is off limits, sometimes featuring a lighter take on things, at others painting moments of poignancy. Her lyric writing and chord structures often slide away from the expected and predictable. She has produced two solo albums of original songs: For the Trees and Echoes.
Lovely to have this opportunity to feature Lindsey on an infrequent visit north. You can hear her music on
