Take the powerful
poetic prowess of Sylvia Plath, set it to the gentle jamming of Joni
Mitchell, add a dash of humility, wrap it all in a stage presence that
rivals Ani DiFranco, and you have this young star. Lindsay is one to
watch out for. Her guitar as her shield, her words her weapon, Lindsay
stood as a warrior for all women tonight. In a concert worthy of the
original three-r'd riot grrrls, she strummed her social-consciousness
and gave lyrics to the all the angst and hope of women who fight and
love today. She even managed to make us laugh a little. She breaks out
from any cliché of the girl-and-her-guitar; tonight Jenn Lindsay's
powerful set kept the frustrated in their seats - and then brought them
to their feet - with her brilliant lyrical styling and innovative guitar
work. With a head-thrown-back wail and a curl of her lip around her
words, Lindsay had the usually unruly and unimpressed San Francisco
crowd captivated several times throughout her set. This girl-and-her-guitar
is anything but run-of-the-mill, bringing ferocity, passion and fun
to what threatens to be a tired act.
