Nothing compares to that moment, that energizing split second when you are blindsided by something completely thrilling and unexpected, a feeling shared when hearing the Lindsey O’Brien Band for the first time. After bouncing between her hometown of Chicago and the northern Colorado music scene, Lindsey O’Brien cracked the exoskeleton of traditional singer-songwriter expectations and began assembling and playing with the big bottomed and knee-deep ensemble that is the Lindsey O’Brien Band. The talent and chemistry of LOB is profusely shown through their musical mastery and confident stage presence. Their big sound doesn’t just meld folk, rock, pop and soul, they superglue it with Lindsey O’Brien’s powerhouse vocals that will stop you dead in your tracks, Ben Hockett and Pete Knudson throwing down as-funky-as-you-can-handle grooves, P-Mann’s incredibly versatile and soulful guitar licks, and Dave Clapsaddle and Chris Nicholas creating a boogalo and jazz-tinged horn section. Consistently intricate and emotional, yet undeniably muscular, LOB casts a wonderfully wide net: their uber-edgy one-two punch of "Baby Mercy" sounds like Zeppelin’s take on Janis Joplin, while the slinky "You Were Watching Me" could be the hippest musical collage since Lauryn Hill’s “miseducation”. The Lindsey O’Brien Band is as startlingly versatile and cohesive a band that has come along in the music scene in years.
