Lindsay Beth Harper

Lindsay Beth Harper is a country music singer-songwriter from the mountains of Blue Ridge, GA, who moved to Nashville in 2019 to further pursue her songwriting career. She combines sounds of traditional and modern country music with poetic, lyric-driven songs and emotionally textured vocals to create a uniquely appealing sound.
 
Currently, she is busy bouncing back from the pandemic, filling up her schedule with live shows, co-writes, and recording sessions. She’s also building up her following in Nashville and networking with hit songwriters and rising artists like herself.
 
During the pandemic, Harper decided to learn how to produce her own demos. For several months now, she has been releasing these new demos online, and building up her portfolio, working toward a new EP or full-length album in the near future. Her new music is inspired by love, heartbreak, and the struggles of trying to make true friends in Music City. 
 
In 2019-2022, Harper not only moved to Nashville, but also checked off some venues on her bucket list, making her debuts at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, GA and the Crimson Moon in Dahlonega, GA. She opened for Lee Greenwood at the Anderson Music Hall at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds in Hiawassee, GA in October 2021. She also played numerous songwriter rounds at the Commodore Grill and The Local in Nashville, TN: two very esteemed bars for established and up-and-coming writers alike.
 
In 2018, Lindsay crowdfunded and released her first fully self-written, country EP, A Woman Like That, to local acclaim. It is available on all your favorite streaming sites: Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, etc. The EP sold out of its very limited release of 300 physical copies. 
 
In the first 10 years of her adult life, Harper performed at a lot of venues and festivals, including the 2013 Peach Drop NYE celebration in Atlanta and at the VIP Room at Aaron's Amphitheatre at Lakewood in Atlanta for Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts, and Blake Shelton concerts for the 2013 summer concert season. That same year, Harper sang with the legendary Brenda Lee at Hiawassee, GA's famous Anderson Music Hall and worked as Pebbles the intern/on-air personality for the Moby in the Morning (now retired) country music radio show in Roswell, GA.
 
While in college at Kennesaw State University from 2011-2014, she worked with Zac Brown Band members, Coy Bowles and John Driskell Hopkins, in the Joel A. Katz Music and Entertainment Business Program. 
 
In 2011, Harper was experimenting with pop/rock music. She released a self-titled EP, which showcased three songs from this discovery period in her music career. These songs were eclectic and all three distinct styles/genres. By popular demand, she recently put these songs back on streaming services as an anthology collection: The Singles 2008-2014.
 
In 2008-2010, Harper experienced some of the hardest times in her life, losing her father, and two grandparents in the span of only a couple years, this rough time in her life would go on to influence her to learn guitar and write songs as an outlet for her emotions. 
 
At ages 9-11, Harper made appearances on major networks such as NBC's America's Most Talented Kid in 2003 and the PAX (now Ion) version in 2004 as a yodeling prodigy. Other notable acts that appeared on this show included Jordin Sparks, Hunter Hayes, Taylor Lautner, Tori Kelly, and JoJo. Although she did not win, this show would go on to garner Harper some minor fame early in her life. 
 
Harper began singing at the age of six in front of audiences. Since that early age, she has never gone more than 6 months without performing for an audience. Her father and both her grandfathers were musicians, influencing her craft for years to come.
