Troy Lindsey
25 year old Troy Lindsey from East Wenatchee, WV is the quintessential
rolling stone. Don’t think he’s just another traveling musician. As a helicopter
mechanic, he travels around the world training people and servicing machines.
That experience has afforded him a unique perspective of the world, and his
soulful response is the driving force behind his music.
The back of a country church in Wyoming was the birth place of Troy’s
musical career. At fourteen, a country preacher gave Troy three guitar lessons
and he’s had a guitar in his hands ever since. Waylon Jennings, AC/DC, The Stones, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan all influenced
the young Lindsey and he matured as a artist. In 1991 Troy enlisted with the US
Marine Corps and was stationed in Hawaii where he got his training as a mechanic
in helicopter aviation. That career led him around the world.
In one of the fastest paced, stressed-out countries of the world, Korea,
Troy started to put together his first album, “Out of Time for People Without
Time.” He had a laptop, a cheap Italian guitar, and a microphone that he taped
to a vacuum cleaner handle. Several of the recordings from those sessions alone
in his apartment in Jeonju, Korea were used for the first album.
Immediately after the release of his first album, Troy began work on the
second. This one would be all done in studio, with the angelic tones of his
daughter, Kristen McCamey on backing vocals and a feature “Tell It Like It
Is”.
