Shiloh Lindsey

WARNING: Western Violence & Brief Sensuality
Hailed as "The Whiskey Sipping Darling of the Vancouver Country Scene" Shiloh Lindsey pours her heart out via her own brand of alt-country music. After five years since the release of her stunning alt-country debut, "For My Smoke" (produced by John Macarthur Ellis - Be Good Tanyas, Dustin Bentall), we are anxiously awaiting her second album "Western Violence and Brief Sensuality" a concept album with songs from murder ballads and tales of the drunken disorderly to songs about cheating lovers. Co-produced by Kirk Adair Douglas, this album proudly features Gaye Delorme (The Rodeo Song) on guitar and the talents of many other local Vancouver musicians such as Angela Fama and Mike Flunkert AKA Doc Steel (Eldorado), Doug Liddle, Spencer McKinnon and Kirk Douglas (SWANK), Al & Graham Myrfield (The Stumblers Inn).
Shiloh's music is for somewhere between that after-hours moment in the dimly lit bar when Johnny Cash comes on the jukebox for the last time, and that instant when the sun first starts to turn the sky from darkness to dawn.



Named after a character in an old western movie, Shiloh remembers sitting beside her dad in the pick-up, a road-pop between his knees and a cigarette dangling from his mouth, as he drove the family from their Alberta ranch to their new homestead in British Columbia.
Shiloh jumped out of the truck and onto a horse - riding through the glorious backcountry for what seemed like about five minutes, gulping in all fresh mountain air she could hold. Due to bar room antics and whiskey driven madness, the new ranch was soon history and Shiloh and her mother moved to a trailer park in town. At 14 she took a job as a waitress in a truck stop diner to pay to keep her horse at a local ranch. It didn't work for long, so she soon developed another vice - songwriting. She stole her brother's guitar and hit the road, moving from town to town looking for the next great drama.



Vancouver stopped her in her tracks, stuck in a dead-end job with dreams as wide as a Western sky. With a collection of songs combining images of the beauty, darkness and determination that have brought her this far, Shiloh's gone as far west as she can without hitting deep water, but she's not done yet. Not by a country mile.



"Think early Sheryl Crow posessed by the spirits of Patsy Cline & Johnny Cash."

"Shiloh Lindsey sounds like a Great White North Lucinda Williams, her vocal as clear and as constant as a mountain stream."
- The Vancouver Sun
"Shiloh Lindsey is a diamond in the rough, with the potential to stand beside some of the heaviest artists in the folk-roots genre. Her vocal and writing abilities really caught my ear, because they come out sounding effortless and real. I'm looking forward to seeing her career take off as her record "For my Smoke" was one of the most satisfying projects I did in 2004."
- John MacArthur Ellis, Producer
"Shiloh Lindsey was amazing - what a singer! Whoo. Sure made me feel like Lou Reed's
tone deaf bastard pizza boy"
- Doug Smith, The Cadaver Dogs/Nerve Magazine
