A Dolly Parton fan for as long as she can remember Lindy Bryson has released her first ever music video and recently signed with publishing company, Blank Slate Music Group.
Lindy, 20, of Boiling Springs is 'sharing Jesus with a country twist" presenting concerts throughout the region, writing her own songs and music while completing her education at Gardner-Webb University.
"I have been singing in church since I was three years old and my biggest passion is to lead worship and help people love on Jesus," she said.
Her favorite music genres these days are country and contemporary Christian.
"My all time favorite song is 'Goodness Of God' by Bethel music because it reminds me of my purpose which is to sing and worship Jesus," Lindy said.
Dolly Parton is Lindy's favorite songwriter because "her songs tell a story and you can tell they come straight from the heart."
When listening to music, she prefers the sounds of Dolly Parton, Zach Williams, Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson. Her playlist includes "If I Got Jesus" by Ben Fuller, "My Jesus" by Anne Wilson, "By Your Grace" by Cody Johnson.
This summer Lindy has been traveling and singing in several different churches and events in Cleveland and Rutherford counties. She is working on writing new songs and more music. A trip to Nashville will allow her to work on some new and exciting things, Lindy said recently.
Lindy and another newcomer, Kaleb Willis, will perform with the The Christian Country Tour at Don Gibson Theatre in Shelby on August 24. The concert features Todd Tilghman (winner of season 18 of The Voice) and Small Town Sunday (2024 Country Gospel Group of the Year).
Music helps Lindy connect with Jesus and minister to other people, she said recently.
As a child she took voice lessons from Anne Goss and also guitar lessons. While the guitar is Lindy's primary instrument, she also plays the piano and the mandolin.
As a student at Gardner-Webb majoring in discipleship, Lindy chooses to live at home in order to focus more on her music in the evenings.
With her music, Lindy hopes to continue to write and sing songs that will share the love of Jesus with people. Whether she is singing for 200 people or 2,000 people, she wants to minister to her audiences.
For Lindy, the best day in the life of a Christian singer is "hearing someone tell you that your music led them to Jesus."
Her toughest days are when she sees bad things going on in the world and sees people turning away from God.
Lindy won the Don Gibson SingerSongwriter Competition in 2022. She has a new album to be released soon and released her first ever music video on June 28, available on YouTube or Facebook. Her music can be streamed on Apple Music, Spotify, Youtube, Pandora.
The daughter of Buster and Allana Bryson, Lindy is a junior at Gardner-Webb University. She has older brothers Lee and Clay. A member at Boiling Springs Baptist Church, Lindy is the music ministry intern at Ross Grove Baptist Church.
When she's not singing and writing songs, she enjoys spending time with her family, her Chocolate Lab Charlie Ann, and being outside in nature.
