Graham Lindsey is an American singer, songwriter, poet, and musician born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin. He played in several punk bands, including Old Skull,[1] while still in high-school. He released his first solo album in 2003. While retaining the punk attitude and political awareness Lindsey's music had since evolved and exposed his folk and country roots, to create a mix of folk, alternative country, Americana & country noir. He has since released two more albums, one EP and contributed to several compilations. Four of Lindsey's songs were used in the direct-to-DVD film Fairview St., released in 2010. His song "Emma Rumble" was used in the direct-to-DVD film Dunsmore, released in 2004. Lindsey lives in Montana and performs with his wife Tina Lindsey.[citation needed]
Lindsey left home at age fourteen and resided in New Orleans, Brooklyn, and Nebraska.[2] After the dissolution of Old Skull, Lindsey became interested in acoustic music, particularly the burgeoning anti-folk movement, and began playing local gigs in Madison. He then dropped music altogether for four years.[3]
