As a young singer, Lindy got off to a serious start, performing with the famed Texas Boys Choir for nearly five years - until his voice changed. Like many, Lindy grew up singing in church. As a music student at John Brown University, Lindy performed throughout college, primarily with a group called The Changing Tyde. After college, he toured with the band Soul Concern, made numerous USO concert tours with close musical chums (including Sam Taylor and Jerry Wasley), and toured with Roy Clark. Since those earlier days, Lindy has been on a solo musical journey until joining up with singing and songwriting partner Lynn Adler in 2002.
Lindy Hearne's songwriting finesse is common knowledge in wider and wider circles. Hearne and Adler were two of 10 finalists in the national 2001 Wildflower Festival Performing Songwriter Showcase in Richardson, Texas. He and co-writer Hal Greenwood won first place in two song categories in the 2002 Walnut Valley Festival NewSongs Showcase at Winfield, Kansas. The two, along with Adler, penned another first-place song in the same event for 2003. In 2004, Hearne placed again as one of ten finalists in the Wildflower Festival's Performing Songwriter Showcase. Also in 2004, Hearne and Adler placed second at the 57th Annual Original Ozark Folk Festival Songwriters Contest in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
Touring these days mostly as one half of the duo Adler & Hearne, Lindy performs solo on occasion. He lives outside Winnsboro, Texas, at the Spring Hollow Organic Song Farm, deep in the piney woods of East Texas. When he's not touring or teaching guitar or leading a songwriting workshop, you'll most likely find him wheeling and dealing in vintage guitars, and reeling in big catches with daughter Kate on the seven-acre lake hidden in the woods at the song farm.
Lindy welcomes opportunities to lead songwriting workshops on a variety of related topics. Favorite venues to play include house concerts, festivals, colleges, coffeehouses, churches, and community concert halls.
