Singer/songwriter Lindsay Mac offers a fresh look at folk music by vocalizing catchy, jazzy melodies while plucking her cello. Classically trained for over 15 years, Lindsay Mac is taking the cello to where it's never been before: to the spotlight as the lead chordal and rhythmic instrument - and to where it's rarely seen: popular music's folk/jazz stage. Mac's approach to her instrument varies from strumming to slapping to carefully coaxing beautiful and intriguing lines from the large wooden instrument all while making it seem, in former producer for The Pointer Sisters, Henry Gaffney's words, "as natural as rain."

In her short time on the acoustic music scene, Mac has already garnered diverse and impressive support. She recently opened for KD Lang at Boston's Fleet Pavilion and also for folk-goddess Catie Curtis this past June. She has several promotional deals including one with the Fostex Corporation which lands her name and image in national magazines, "Guitar World", "Performing Songwriter", and "Women Who Rock".

Lindsay Mac has just finished her debut CD, "Small Revolution", (aptly named for her groundbreaking work on the cello) and is now touring nationally in support of this release. Appearing on the eclectic and beautifully recorded album is two-time Grammy winning cellist, Eugene Friesen, The Wayfaring Strangers' (Rounder Records) leader and violinist, Matt Glaser, and
pianist Tim Ray (Bonnie Raitt, Lyle Lovett, and Jane Siberry).
