   Episode 64: Guitarist, Lindsey Miller - Faith and Staking a Claim in Nashville

Growing up in Prairie Village, KS (a suburb of Kansas City) Lindsey picked up her first guitar at age ten. Although first inspired by Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, and 90s alternative rock, it was her discovery of hometown guitar hero Pat Metheny that initiated her into the world of jazz. Lindsey’s talent and ever growing interest in jazz improvisation earned her a scholarship to attend the University of North Texas where she performed in the Two O’Clock Lab band and earned a bachelor’s degree in Jazz Studies. She then went on to complete a Masters Degree in Music from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. In 2012, Lindsey relocated to Nashville, TN where she has quickly become a welcome addition to both the live and recording community. Just in the last few years she has toured with award winning major label artists and appeared on national tv shows. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the recording industry at studios such as Ocean Way, Watershed, Layman Drug Co.,Warner Bros., DRR&P, Wildwood, Sound Emporium, and Eclectic. She often works for clients such as Broadway Jr and Hal Leonard Music Express as well as various artist recording projects. Her ability to read music notation at a highly advanced level and interpret any genre or style imaginable has given her an edge in a competitive and ever changing environment. https://lindseymillerguitar.com (https://lindseymillerguitar.com)
