Lindsay Beaver

Lindsay Beaver doesn’t exactly ease into a room. The Austin singer and songwriter built her reputation belting blues and rock ’n’ roll from behind a drum kit, and she brings that same fire now that she’s stepped out front with a guitar.

Her current sound digs deeper into Texas country, honky-tonk and Americana, but there’s still plenty of blues grit underneath it.

Beaver has a big, soulful voice, a little punk-rock attitude and the kind of stage presence that can turn an old country song into something dangerous.

Expect twang, swagger and a performer who would much rather shake up the room than politely blend into it.
