Nashville-based indie-pop/alternative dream, Lindsay Latimer. Her songs tell stories of nostalgia, growing up, and relationships, while she gracefully skims the surfaces of pop, electronic, jazz, and rock – landing in a fresh sound of her own.
Lindsay’s debut EP Grow Wild was overseen by Grammy award-winning engineer Chris Latham (Guy Clark, Brad Paisley), and in the past year, her original songs “I Blame You” and “Good as Weeds” have been listed as “Ones to Watch” by the Nashville Songwriters Association International song evaluators.
Last fall, Lindsay released sophomore EP, Teenage Lullaby.
Produced by Jeremy Lutito (Ingrid Michaelson, Mat Kearney, Ben Rector), Teenage Lullaby is a 5-track EP that rotates between dreamy and nostalgic to palpable and raw, and features a wide range of instruments from the piano, electric bass, violin, viola, to cello.
We spoke to Lindsay about the albums that influenced her the most:
Explosions in the Sky- The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place
“I fell into this record in high school. It says a lot without saying a word. I loved the atmosphere it drew me into, song by song. A very powerful dose of nostalgia for me.”
Jewel- 0304 (U.S. Version)
“This CD was one of my first that I bought with my own money. Inspirational in the realm of pop music and production for me. It’s one of those I’ll come across, put in my car CD player, and somehow start singing every single word years later.”
Jack’s Mannequin- Everything in Transit
“I grew obsessed with these songs as a freshman in high school, as it came out that year. I’m a big Andrew McMahon fan. He definitely inspired a lot of my piano songwriting.”
Joni Mitchell- Court and Spark
“Hard to pick only one of Joni’s records because my most-listened songs are scattered among different records. But this one was the first one I listened to thanks to my mom. She was a big Joni Mitchell fan before I was born so I kinda inherited that subconsciously. I’ve always had a few teaspoons of Joni in my songwriting.”
John Mayer- Continuum
“I can’t say that I remember the exact context of my life when most of my favorite CDs were released, but I can for this one. My parents and I were driving to South Carolina to visit my sister in college for family weekend and I only listened to this the entire trip. I thought I had John Mayer records ingrained in my mind before this…this one takes the cake for memorization. I’ll never forget what some of these songs did to me the first time I listened through.”
Mannheim Steamroller- Christmas
“This 1984 album had an established role in my parent’s celebration of the holidays before my sister and I were born. If my Christmas seasons growing up had a soundtrack, this is it. These songs hold a lot of memories for me. Besides, what’s more magical than Christmas?”

Michelle Branch- Hotel Paper
“Another CD I bought with my own money as a preteen that was formative to my desire to write my own songs. I bought the piano solo book to this record and thought that was so cool too. I’m big time Michelle Branch inspired.”
Billy Joel- The Stranger
“An old record my dad would spin a lot when I was little. I fell in love with it probably because it was often playing in the background of my days growing up. “Vienna” is on there—my favorite Billy song.”
Ben Howard- Every Kingdom
“My husband and I fell in love with this record when we were dating in college. It’s special in that way.”
Sergei Prokofiev- Peter and the Wolf
“A record I would locate from what the cover looked like. It was made a favorite of mine before I could read. I would go look for it and put it in our record player and choreograph a ballet to it in our family room. This was before I was singing, but it taught me a lot about the power of dissonance, storytelling, and character in melody when I was a little ballerina girl.”
