After bouncing between her hometown of Chicago and the northern Colorado music scene, Lindsey O’Brien cracked the exoskeleton of traditional singer-songwriter expectations and began assembling and playing with the big bottomed and knee-deep ensemble that is the Lindsey O’Brien Band. The talent and chemistry of LOB is profusely shown through their musical mastery and confident stage presence. Their big sound doesn’t just meld folk, rock, pop and soul, they superglue it with Lindsey O’Brien’s powerhouse vocals that will stop you dead in your tracks, Ben Hockett and Pete Knudson throwing down as-funky-as-you-can-handle grooves, P-Mann’s incredibly versatile and soulful guitar licks, and Dave Clapsaddle and Chris Nicholas creating a boogaloo and jazz-tinged horn section.
