Hey pals! I'm excited and a little stunned to share the news that "Piece of Quiet" took home the trophy for Best Folk or Acoustic Song at last night's San Diego Music Awards. As Irene Cara says, "what a feeeeeling!"
I was having a bit of an out of body experience on stage, so I followed that up with a whole gushy FB post thanking all the people who make all the things (not just awards) possible in my life. Scroll down for the whole thing! Thanks to everyone who voted! I reeeeaaallly appreciate your support for this tune and my creative endeavors in general.

I am happy to report that my song "Piece of Quiet" has been nominated for a San Diego Music Award in the category of Best Folk/Acoustic Song. If you'd like to help me snag the SDMA, please do me a solid and vote daily (you don't have to vote all the other categories if you don't wanna). My last win was in 2018 so it'd sure be nice to have a more recent "accolade" on my resume. Big love to everyone who submitted, and thanks to the SD Music Foundation for putting music in schools! Make sure to get your tickets for the event on April 19!  Beige Graphic with overlay of single cover art for Lindsay White's "Piece of Quiet."

I'm excited to share with you the news of Qulyn, my brand new line of paperback journals, now available for purchase! I've been wanting to create these journals for a reeeeealllly long time, but I didn't take the project off the backburner until River came along. Read through this Q&A to learn more about each journal in the line as well as how the entire brand came into existence. I really hope you enjoy these and help me spread the word about them - they are great tools for self-care AND they make great gifts!

What's up, pals? Long time no talk. Just wanted to share some exciting news that my new single "Jealous of You" is now available on all the streaming thingies. You can also support by downloading the track along with lyrics and artwork here.
Image description: Single artwork by Shy the Artist features a collage with light gray text that reads “Jealous of You” overlaid on a blue-gray cloudy sky. The focal point is a photo (by Sydney Valiente) of Lindsay. She is wearing a brown and gray sweater and holding her hair up in both hands. A bunch of green leaves covers her face and other foliage surrounds her.
Special thanks to the homies Jules Stewart (drums) and Alexander Dausch at Studio Studios (instrumentation, production, mixing, mastering) for making this track sound so dreamy. Shout-out to Shy the Artist (artwork) and Sydney Valiente (photography) for holding it down in the visual department. And as always, my unending gratitude goes to my Lindsay's Corner Patreon fam for making it possible for me to release music independently. Because of them, I was able to put out five songs this year - no easy feat for a pregnant lady in a pandemic! (Technically, this was my daughter's first feature - she was in my belly when I tracked vox!)
Do me a favor, friends - if you like this song, please share it on socials and/or add to your favorite playlists. I'm taking a social media hiatus for the remainder of the year to protect my mental health as I prepare to deliver River Jean into the world, which means there will be no official promo for this song unless kind souls like you share the love. Appreciate all your support! First gig back is sold out! Excited to be celebrating and supporting our API headliners this afternoon and raising funds for SD API Coalition. If you snoozed and loozed on a physical reservation or if you live out of town, you can watch the livestream on the Lady Brain Presents Facebook page!  Image Description: Event flyer is a photo of a blue sky with white clouds and palm leaves pictured at top. Text is overlaid with event info and performer names (please see ladybrainpresents.com/blog for complete event details) Hey friends, cool news! My song "Crickets" has been nominated for a 2021 San Diego Music Award in the category of Best Folk/Acoustic Song. I'm proud of this little ditty...one of the first that I recorded/produced all by myself! (With help, of course, from Alex Dausch on bass, Amelia Sarkisian mixing, and Trevor Hamer mastering). The category is full of friends like Tori Roze, Julia Sage, and Lee Coulter, so I say go forth and vote in whatever way feels good for you! You can vote once per day!  Image description: 2021 Logo for SDMAs is a drawing of a yellow vintage bus parked in front of palm trees. On the side of the bus, red-orange lettering reads "SDMA30."

Hey there, friends. I've got a brand new single out for ya out today. This one's called "The Rotten Parts," produced by me (!!!), mixed/mastered by Amelia Sarkisian, with drums by Jules Stewart. I wrote this one as a walk-a-mile-in-someone-else's-shoes plea for white folks to consider not only the current, every-day impact of white supremacist delusion on Black and Brown bodies, but the centuries-long trauma caused by hate, fear, greed, and othering based on nothing more than skin color. Sooooo Dummmmmb and Eviiiiiil. What a grave shame it is to still see so many people refuse to acknowledge the simple, unwavering truth that Black Lives Matter. To still value their own comfort and willful ignorance over the actual safety of other humans. To varying degrees, we ALL grapple with these "rotten parts" because we were all brought up within rotten, broken systems. And those rotten parts will continue to poison generation after generation until we confront them individually and collectively. Thank you for listening - hope you'll work to carve out all the rotten you see in yourself - I'll be doing the same on my end.
The song is available now (along with lyrics and art) for direct download in the store, which is by far the best way to support, or on all the streamy thingies. Special thanks to Jules Stewart (drums), Amelia Sarkisian (mixing/mastering), with single art by Shy the Artist using original photography by Sydney Valiente. As always, big, big love to my Lindsay's Corner fam for their continued support. *Edit 3/24 - I recently was given the opportunity to root out the rotten parts of this very blog, which was not giving proper credit to the Black and Brown folks who inform my very understanding of racial and social injustice and who motivate me daily to hold myself accountable and try to work/create/speak/live in solidarity. Folks whose work I am particularly grateful for and inspired by in this moment are Sonya Renee Taylor, Dr. Tiffany Jana, Sassy Latte, Isabel Wilkerson, Miki Vale, EB of Course, and so, so many of the harmonizers at our local mutual aid We All We Got SD! 
Image description: Single artwork by Shy the Artist features a collage with light gray text that reads “The Rotten Parts” overlaid on a blue-gray cloudy mountain landscape. The focal point is a photo (by Sydney Valiente) of Lindsay placed toward the right of the graphic. She is wearing a brown coat over a gray blouse and her long brown hair falls over her left shoulder. A bunch of red and white flowers with black leaves covers her face.
Hey friends. Wanted to point your attention toward what will probably be the only piece of press I receive anytime soon: a really lovely review of my last three singles from my dear friend Lizzie Wann over on the Lady Brain Presents blog. Even though I'm putting out a lot of new music, I just don't have the capacity to push for PR right now, which goes against everything I've been doing as an indie musician for my entire career. Why, you may ask, would someone who has literally written a DIY publicity guide for indie musicians, not put more care into publicizing her new music? Um, I'm exhausted. That's pretty much it. I've reached a point in this pandemic where I'm creating and releasing music for my own mental health. What anyone chooses to do with it or think about it or write about it is not even a sliver of a thought in my brain at the moment. Maybe one day I'll get back to a place where I keep pushing for more reach, but for now, I'm just going to lean on good friends like Lizzie, awesome collectives like Lady Brain Presents, and my Patreon fam to give me the gentle squeezes and nudges I need to keep on keeping on. Thanks so much Lizzie for these thoughtful and kind words about my latest three releases. If you get a moment, please send her a little venmo love and check out her book and talk show!

New year, new music. Hope you enjoy my latest release "Nothing Worse," an original song inspired by one of my dear friends about that dreaded sense of hope we still somehow manage to feel during incredibly hopeless and lonely times. The song is available on all streaming platforms, but I hope you'll also consider a direct download from my website, which includes a printable lyric download as well as the artwork. Streaming is cool y'all, but artists can't make it work with fractions of pennies for royalties. Direct sales help me continue to invest in creating more music!

Lyrics:
there's a pillow i keep punching i always take you lying down there's a pill so hard to swallow i have to hide it in my mouth i'm sinking down the valley, can't find the surface i'm fighting the finale, like a novice novelist i'm pacing like Penelope, hope for my homecoming kiss but there's nothing worse than hoping at a lonesome time like this there's a hole where i keep whispering i always wonder if you hear there's a hopeless place where i know best but dear, i don't dare to go near i'm counting up the memories and the sacrifices i'll spend them on you honey i don't care what the price is i'm testing several theories hoping to prove the same thesis but there's nothing worse than hoping at a lonesome time like this worry my mind, furrow my brow sweetheart, i am sweating bullets sweating you out how can i let you go when i still hope that hope exists i know...there's nothing worse than hoping at a lonesome time like this but i just sit here hoping at a lonesome time like this
Thank you for listening fam! If you want to take your patronage one step further, you can also join Lindsay's Corner for $2+/month. Did you know someone would have to stream my song about 229 times before I earned $2? But it costs about $10-20 per year to keep a song distributed to these platforms, so just to break even for a single, my song would have to be streamed 1145-2290 times per year. This stuff makes me want to pull out my hair and quit music sometimes. Having support from the Patreon platform isn't just about financial sustainability, it's about the emotional support and knowing that folks care about artists enough to protect and preserve their ability to create. It's about giving them "hope at a lonesome time like this."
