About
In Nashville, TN, where guitarists outnumber every other instrument, Lindsey Miller has been carving out an admirable niche for herself. Her fast-growing resume of artists, recording clients, and respected musical associates, has been a natural result of her unusually diverse skill set.
Growing up in Prairie Village, KS (a suburb of Kansas City) Lindsey picked up her first guitar at age ten. Although first inspired by Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, and 90s alternative rock, it was her discovery of hometown guitar hero Pat Metheny that initiated her into the world of jazz. Lindsey’s talent and ever growing interest in jazz improvisation earned her a scholarship to attend the University of North Texas where she performed in the Two O’Clock Lab band and earned a bachelor’s degree in Jazz Studies. She then went on to complete a Masters Degree in Music from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Since moving to Nashville in 2012, Lindsey has spent the last twelve years as a welcome addition to both the live and recording community. She has toured multiple years on the Brett Eldredge “Glow” Christmas tour, and has done additional tours with Lauren Daigle, Kevin Max, and Danny Gokey. She has performed with jazz luminaries such as Brian Blade, Keith Carlock, Dennis Chambers, Felix Pastorius, Danny Gottlieb, and Jeff Coffin. In 2018, Lindsey was a featured musician in an expose on the Nashville jazz scene for NPR’s Jazz Night In America.
Lindsey performs regularly with symphonies nationwide including the Nashville Symphony, Kentucky Opera, Phoenix Symphony, Dallas Symphony, Detroit Symphony, and St. Louis Symphony. In 2022 Lindsey played electric guitar on the world premiere of Julia Wolfe’s semi-staged orchestral piece “Her Story” along with the Nashville Symphony and Lorelei Ensemble. She has played electric and nylon guitar on the Kentucky Opera’s production of Astor Piazzola’s tango operita “Maria de Buenos Aires.” Lindsey has additionally performed in the Guitar 1 chair for Disney Pixar’s “Coco” with both the Nashville Symphony and St. Louis Symphony.
Lindsey has appeared on the tv shows CBS Tell Me A Story Season 2, the NBC Rockefeller Tree Lighting Special 2022, and three seasons of ABC/CMT’s Nashville.
When she’s not touring, Lindsey is an active member of the Nashville studio scene. Her recording credits include music for movies such as “Remember Me: The Mahalia Jackson Story (2022),” “Devotion (2022),” and “Reagan (2024).” Her music can also be heard on Bravo, The History Channel, VH1, CBS NFL, Hgtv, and NBC.
In 2023, Lindsey released a three song jazz EP/video project “The Sapphire Sessions“: Live From Layman Drug Company which can be viewed via her youtube channel.
