Graham Lindsey is a multi-instrumentalist and composer, writing inventive and varied tunes. His compositions don\\u2019t follow the traditional Irish, Scottish or other Celtic styles, and the subtle differences bring a unique feel and rhythm to his first album, \\u201cTradHead\\u201d.He plays as a soloist and side-player with Celtic and folk musicians in Ontario and Qu\\xe9bec, with bands and artists including From Away, The Trads, Anna Ludlow, The Sarah Burnell Band, McGregor & Lindsey and more.Three tunes of Graham\\u2019s were played through the summer of 2017 as part of the recital series on the Carillon (the bells that play daily at noon) in the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill in Canada\\u2019s capital, Ottawa. This was followed-up in 2019 by a performance of a fourth tune, \\u201cThe Carillonneur\\u201d, dedicated to Dominion Carillonneur Dr. Andrea McCrady who arranged these tunes and plays daily concerts on the carillon.Graham\\u2019s compositions have also brought him to Sweden in January of 2017, where he was the \\u201cGuest Artist of the Year\\u201d at the Folk at Heart showcase festival, and he returned in 2018 and 2019 to collaborate internationally with different Swedish musicians. 2019 marked the first trip of the band From Away to Sweden, featuring many of Graham\\u2019s compositions.Graham released his debut solo CD in June 2019, and has recorded for musicians including Sarah Burnell Band, Twin Flames, Trent Severn, Shelley Posen & Ian Robb, Sharon Hampson and more.On-stage you\\u2019ll often see him with mandolins and banjo, percussion (bodhran and cajon, shakers and more), and flutes and whistles.
