Lindsay moved to Nashville in the summer of 2005 to attend Belmont University and pursue a career in the music industry. She fell in love with the city, including its major league sports teams, music venues, local parks, and—as all great stories say—a boy. Lindsay and Micah married in 2011, adopted a dog in 2012, paid off all their debt in 2013, backpacked through Europe in 2015, and welcomed their baby boy, Denver, in 2016. On sunny days, you can find Lindsay hiking at Percy Warner Park, dining at Taco Mamacita, and singing loudly to Guardians Of The Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1. On cloudy days you can find Lindsay under a blanket, with a well-loved book, eating Chunky Monkey by the pint.
