Webster considers herself “very, very lucky” to have grown up in Woodstock, NY. With a heavy emphasis on arts and music, her grade school had a progressive music program where Lindsey cultivated a deep love of music by learning the cello. After playing for 10 years, often in first chair, she moved to NYC to attend Fiorello H. LaGuardia School for the Music, Art & Performing Arts. As she grew musically, she transitioned from strings to voice where she heard her calling and found herself.
In 2009, Lindsey met her partner, Keith Slattery, and started performing professionally. Together, with a band of world-class musicians, they’ve performed over 600 shows in venues including Yoshi's Oakland, The Iridium, North Sea Jazz Club, Pizza Express, Levon Helm Studios, Daryl’s House, Helsinki Hudson, The Falcon, The Bitter End, and the Bearsville Theater.
The success of her second album, You Change, and achieving the only vocally driven song to hit #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz chart for four weeks (beating out Sade’s previous record of three weeks) caught the eye of Shanachie Entertainment, whom she signed with to release her third album, "Back To Your Heart". This third relelase shows a real transition and beautiful growth for Webster as an artist. While humbled her voice has been compared to R&B royalty Sade, Mariah Carey, and Anita Baker, Lindsey looks to bring her distinct style to Soul R&B and continue to make music that resonates with her fans.
In today’s world of electronic music where programmed drum loops and auto-tuned vocals reign, Lindsey Webster is a breath of fresh air. A refreshing take on R&B with a soulful presence; Lindsey’s vocals compare to the likes of R&B queens Sade, Mariah Carey and Anita Baker. But it doesn't end there- Lindsey's stellar voice is backed with lush chords and a tight pocket played by a world-class band of musicians lending it's sound to the genre of Soul R&B.
Making strides in her hometown of Woodstock, NY, located in the heart of the Hudson Valley, Lindsey has performed and perfected her craft with some of the best musicians the area has to offer.

In the sky we′ll be flying you and I
I got the stars right here in my heart
You are the night, I am the moonlight
I illuminate you in a different way
For you I'll shine light up your life
In the sky we′ll be flying you and I
Look at the sky see the brightest light
That is my love shining from above
And If you forget or feel the light has dimmed
Open your eyes and look into the night
Only you can give me the stars and moon (oh, the stars and moon)
In the sky we'll be flying you and I
Only you can give me the stars and moon (the stars and moon)
In the sky we'll be flying you and I (you and I)
So for the rest of time you′ll be mine (be mine)
You can know for sure I am yours (for sure)
Because we share a destiny (Because we, share a destiny)
To be truly and so deeply in love
Look at the sky see the brightest light
That is my love shining from above
And don′t you forget or feel the light has dimmed
Open your eyes and look into the night, yea
Only you can give me the stars and moon
