Lindsay Lou & the Flatbellys November 18, 2012

Her parents call her Lindsay Rachel Petroff, and she was raised in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in a family of musicians. Her influences, outside the family, have been singers like Nat King Cole and songwriters like the Indigo Girls. But lately Michigan's thriving folk music scene has been her biggest influence. A recent graduate of Michigan State University, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish and a minor in Bioethics, and having lived for several months in Latin America, Lindsay has a unique set of experiences from which she draws to write her songs.
