Lindsey Hinkle is a self-taught musician armed with resonating lyrics that are filled with insight into the human condition, as well as haunting and penetrating vocals that seem to echo mercilessly inside your head. She has been writing and performing original material since age 13. Her writing style, although unique in it’s own right, is often compared to John Mayer. She has opened for Shawn Mullins, Marc Broussard, Jennifer Nettles, Sugarland, Michelle Malone, Kristy Lee, Darius Rucker, Thompson Square, Brad Paisley, Casey James, Chris Young, Antigone Rising, Sarah Bettens and Keith Urban.

Her lyrical ability has always been, undoubtedly, far beyond her years. This is repeatedly evident in such songs as “Whole” where she candidly describes the agony of losing not only love, but the unexpected attachment of the two sons that came with it.

“A Spiderman sock rolled out of my jeans
Too bad he can’t save me now
There are crayons and fruit loops in my backseat
I guess I should probably clean them out
It was bad enough losing you
But it’s unbearable losing the other two
…though it’s not my blood running through their veins
I hope they know I’m not to blame
And I loved and love them more than life itself”

At age 17, Lindsey won the Eddie’s Attic Open Mic Shoot Out in Atlanta, besting singer/songwriters with signed major label deals who more than doubled her years’ worth of experience.

Atlanta’s Creative Loafing Magazine, in reference to Lindsey winning the Eddie’s Open Mic Shoot Out, wrote:

“ ‘Young Alabama-based singer/songwriter Lindsey Hinkle triumphed over a field of exceptionally strong semi-finalists to win the concluding round.’ ‘Blessed with exceptional beauty and a voice to match, Hinkle expertly accompanied herself on guitar, performing original songs such as ‘Rainy Monday’ with graceful lyrics and a wistful tone that would have been impressive from a composer twice her age.’ “
