Lindsey Morrison

Linsey Morrison

Of The Lin Moe Band



    1. Lindsey - what is new with you and musical endeavors ?

    We know you have worked
    with Side Effect in the last
    year, are there plans to continue - start new ?


    I think Side Effect is done.
    Our last gig all together was at the Stars4Iowa show at House Of Bricks on Nov. 26th...Kevin Morrissey is in the band Lap Dogs now with Lance Harrison and Gary Benson.

    Jim Tharp is in a band called Cathedra, And Joel Andreas is currently working with Can of Worms and Mosh Libido.

    I am always up for doing more shows with the original line up of Side Effect, I love all those guys
    ...so you never know.

    Currently I am in The Lin-Moe Band...with Joel Andreas, Frank Stahl, and George Civitate "LIKE"
    us on facebook,
    and come out and see a show soon! You can also find videos of us on youtube! We usually open for bands as of right now, mainly Mosh Libido. But we are always adding more songs, and soon we will be doing shows on our own. I am really excited to be back on stage, I can never stay away for long on faceook we are
    The Lin-Moe Band.

    2. You have been in several bands , and played with many local musicians - can you name them all ?

    2. Oh wow! If I leave one out I
    will feel like such a douche bag hahaha. Okay, here it goes... Gary Benson, Kevin Morrissey, Jason Engen, Tom Murphy, Lance Harrison, Vince Sabatino, Joel Andreas, Jim Tharp, Fix Brown,
    Joe Kernes, John Longo, Travis Thompson, Dave Thrift, Keith Petrosky, Kelly Starrett, Franky Stahl, George Civitate, Brian Lincoln, Chad Shwarts, Richard Schmitt,
    Jeff Lahey, Chris Chandler, Brian Thompson, Steve McLain.


    3. When did you start singing - what was the first band ?

    I started singing very young...my mom always said from the time I could talk, I was singing. I remember singing karaoke at The Viking in Altoona when I was 7 years old. My first official band was 3 AM Band. It was Gary Benson (on bass) who found me on Bandmix.com :) Kevin Morrissey on drums, and Jason Engen on guitar.- that was the original lineup when I joined. Later on, Tom Murphy and Lance Harrison joined. I jammed with my brother,Steve McLain of the Jefferson County Green Band a lot though before 3 AM...I guess that was the first real band I ever got to sing with.

    4. Have you ever taken vocal lessons ? Are there any teachers / friends family that played a key role, in developing a style ?

    I did take vocal lessons. I think I started at age 11...and stuck with
    it for a couple years. I had the best vocal coach, Paul Dieke. My brother definitely played a key role..he is a musician, also. I remember him singing and playing guitar ever since I can remember. I had really awesome parents who played
    music all the time...music of all genres...from all decades. That really helped.
