Lindsay Dragan believes that music is a shared experience in which anyone and everyone is able to partake. She blends pop sensibility with rock guitar, and the lyrical depth of the folk song with soul vibes. Her influences are across the board - a testament demonstrating her idea that music truly has no limit.

"All of my memories are connected to music," Lindsay Dragan says. "I can remember the first times I heard songs that have become pivotal in my life." This is what, to Dragan, music is about. Being pivotal. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Dragan, 23, has seen many pivotal moments in her short life. Playing open mic nights , coffeehouses, and songwriting contests by the age of 14, and garnering attention from A&R in New York by the age of 18, she chose to pursue a Writing and Religious Studies degree at Pitt, where she sharpened her writing skills through papers about religious heroines and poetry slams. But the underlying thread has always been music: from the catchy pop melodies she loved to write in her mid-teens, to the screaming Steel Town classic rock of her college rock band, The Meridians, to the lilting folk ballads with rhythm-driven picking patterns, to the grit and rattling of low-fi pop with good beats, Dragan has continued to blend pop sensibility with introspective lyrics and ideas.

Lindsay believes that music is the glue that holds everyone together. "Regardless of what someone does with their life, they have a soundtrack. They like this band or that song. They associate experiences with music. With music, I want people to just drop what they're doing and listen. I want them to realize that underneath that exterior, we all have music running through us. We're all crazy, musical creatures. That's what my music is about."

And her audience couldn't agree more: she has booked her own shows on both coasts, playing in New York, San Francisco, Washington DC, Pittsburgh, Albuquerque, Flagstaff, Sedona, and Prescott, to name a few. She has played venues as famous as Arlene's Grocery (with The Meridians) and as obscure and informal as her friends' house parties. Regardless of the situation, however, Dragan and the audience tune in to one another, because relating to the human condition and reaching people, to Dragan, is what music is about.
