About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Performing a mix of evocative Celtic songs, timeless Americana/folk, and popular covers, Lindsay Straw has performed throughout the US and Ireland, playing everything from folk festivals and house concerts to weddings and farmers markets. Accompanying her voice with intricate guitar and Irish bouzouki, she is a Berklee-trained performer with over a decade's experience playing solo and in a variety of ensemble settings. Lindsay performs in concert settings as well as frequently for private events like wedding ceremonies, receptions, corporate events, parties, and more. She also has a special one-hour program for seniors that features beloved classic country and pop songs, Irish sing-alongs for the St. Paddy's season, and holiday classics for December. Lindsay is available to play solo as well as with her bands The Ivy Leaf (traditional Irish and folk), Landline Revival (newgrass/country), or in smaller ensembles with fiddle, uilleann pipes, flute, accordion, and more. NOTE: During the pandemic I moved to Nashville and worked in the boutique guitar retail industry for a few years, hence the gap in recent bookings and reviews! As of April 2024 I'm back in Boston and ready to book throughout New England.

Wedding Cocktail HourReviewed on July 23, 2019From Providence, RI

Lindsay was very easy to work with and a great singer. She did an excellent job singing at our cocktail hour!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on November 25, 2018From Windham, NH

Lindsay has the voice of an angle. My father was overwhelmed with emotion on his 70 birthday party when Lindsay started to sing all the songs he loves. He said it was perfect and would not change a thing. She has a family of fans here. Amazing!!! Highly recommend.

Lindsay Straw:

Aww, thanks so much, Sharon! I’m so happy to hear how much your father appreciated it. It was so nice playing for you all! :)
