In February 2006, singer & cellist Lindsay Mac was featured on the cover of Strings magazine, rightfully taking her place as a true original in transforming a traditional instrument & raising it to new heights. Classically trained, Mac is characterized by her combination of plucking the cello & standing while performing. She holds the cello like a guitar, strapped around her small frame, & sings original songs in the folk/jazz tradition. In her pioneering ways she succeeds in creating a sound that is groundbreaking & compelling. Born & raised by hard-working, party-hungry, bohemian parents in Iowa, Lindsay was fed pork tenderloin & Midwestern microbrews for breakfast (she claims this accounts for her wholesome good looks & generally bad breath). Mac then set out to receive her training at various schools such as The Royal College of Music in London, San Francisco Conservatory, & Berklee College of Music in Boston before eventually trading her seat in the symphony for the vagabond life of a touring singer/songwriter.
