Interview with Lindsay Broughton

Published: Nov. 7, 2014, midnight

b'For Lindsay Broughton, Country Music is home. It\\u2019s the quiet, country house, white picket fence, and the rocking chair on the porch. Not a surprising association, as she was raised with music as a constant companion throughout her childhood in Brooklin, Ontario. For all her life, no matter what changes headed her way, music has always been there for her.\\n\\nInitially gaining inspiration from her performing mother, as soon as Lindsay was old enough she began performing. She became well and truly bit by the bug in high school, where she learned the guitar and joined the local songwriting club. As part of a field trip, she went to Nashville, where even then her potential was noticed. Arriving back to Brooklin, encouraged by the praise received in Nashville, she was more determined than ever to hone her craft and pursue a career in music.\\n\\nFast forward: Lindsay has been a regular at the famous Boots & Hearts festival, has played at many CCMA showcases as well as the CMAO Awards show, and has shared the stage with some of country\\u2019s heavy hitters such as Chad Brownlee, Emerson Drive and Gord Bamford.\\n\\nNow, her debut full length album entitled Take Me There has been released with thecurrent radio single of the same name written by Lindsay. The album is pulled from real life experiences, but focuses on the cycle we have all gone through at some point; love, loss, and redemption. The single challenges the listener to think back to the moments in their lives that made them the happiest. It\\u2019s a toe-tapping, gritty, up-tempo song that encourages you to roll the car window down, relax, and say \\u201cbring it on\\u201d to whatever lies ahead.'
