The Project

Named one of The Huffington Post's "Top Country Artists to Watch," Lindsay Ell is a triple threat: accomplished musician, unique vocalist and songwriter.

The young Calgary native learned to play guitar while traveling with her father to country-bluegrass camps as a young girl. Ell honed her craft as a musical stylist and songwriter after being discovered by BTO and The Guess Who's Randy Bachman ("American Woman" / "Taking Care of Business") who discovered her at the age of 13. The multi-instrumentalist was soon touring alongside the likes of Luke Bryan, Buddy Guy, The Band Perry and Keith Urban, as well as wowing audiences as Carrie Underwood's guitar player live on the 50th Annual "CMA Awards" and holding her own alongside icon Melissa Etheridge on Skyville Live.

The Project is funky, bluesy, and full of pop-country sweetness, but also delicate and - at times - brutally honest, as Ell's heart is placed front and centre on each track. She embraces the anything-goes fun of country's future but also holds fast to its traditions, focusing on real instruments and co-writing nine of The Project's songs to create something both unique and self-assured.
