Sound Check: Lindsay Foote Trio with special guests The Lion Sisters

Lindsay Foote has always been a lover of words. The Grand Prize Winner of the 2025 NewSong Songwriting & Performance Competition spent her childhood years pouring through the inner sleeves of her favorite CDs, memorizing every lyric. She was often scolded by her teachers for "daydreaming." It's a habit she never managed to kick, that has proved quite useful as a songwriter.

Whether she's working on an album, collaborating with an artist, or writing music for TV, Lindsay brings her signature artistic spark to every she creates. This is "music of the heart" steeped in candor, insight, and infectious folky grooves. Combining folk traditions, pop, and an Americana edge, her sound is at once familiar and fresh. Lindsay's music has amassed hundreds of placements on network television, and is frequently heard on CBS's The Young and The Restless. 

After many years of honing her craft in Toronto, Lindsay is now making a name for herself in the vibrant Boston folk scene.

The Lion Sisters are a sibling duo from New Hampshire whose music is defined by the natural synchronicity that comes from growing up and creating together. With Josi on fiddle and vocals, and Lily on guitar and vocals, their tight harmonies and effortless onstage connection form the core of their sound and set them apart in the modern acoustic landscape.

Their music blends folk and bluegrass with Irish fiddle, vintage country, and subtle pop and rock influences, creating a style that feels both rooted and refreshingly original. Rather than fitting into a single genre, The Lion Sisters have shaped a musical identity that is distinctly their own—warm, melodic, and contemporary while honoring traditional acoustic foundations. Their debut EP, released in January 2025, consists of six original songs recorded by Nashville music producer Jim Prendergast.

Raised on a small family farm surrounded by animals and open fields, the sisters draw inspiration from the natural world and their rural upbringing. The farm remains an authentic backdrop to their creative life, adding depth to their songwriting and visual storytelling.

This past year, they performed throughout New England, at festivals such as Ossipee Valley Music Festival and Joe Val Bluegrass Festival as well as numerous concert series and coffeehouses. Supported by a close-knit family team, they bring professionalism, authenticity, and a clear artistic vision to every stage.

With their signature sister harmonies and genre-blending sound, The Lion Sisters continue to emerge as a notable new voice in today’s folk and acoustic music scene.
