Biography / Press Release
BRAND NEW ALBUM “CALL ME SINNER” 22nd September 2008
Critically acclaimed singer and songwriter TD Lind is back with a new album set to meet the success of his previous. Since the release and success of ‘Let’s Get Lost’, he and his band have been playing a handful of brand new songs live before moving into a barn in Dorset and recording his new album, ‘Call Me Sinner’, in just four days. What an Englishman was doing living in the Highlands of Louisville, Kentucky is really anyone's guess but he knew he was pursuing an inescapable dream to become a singer and a songwriter. This dream had moved him away from home and into a rock ‘n’ roll band that travelled across Britain playing bars and pubs, it had put him into small night clubs in London and had him playing Jazz piano in the Duc De Lombard over a winter in Paris. Then somewhere between him singing blues nightly at Arthur's Tavern across from his room on Christopher Street in New York, a cab ride that took him to New Orleans, and making coffee for sessions at Ocean Way studios in Los Angeles, he found four great musicians, formed a band, and made Louisville, Kentucky home. After then spending months on the road with his band, headlining before thousands on the banks of the Ohio, supporting acts from Ozzy Osbourne to Wilco, recording an album for A&M Records and all the extraordinary experiences in between, he decided to record some new material. These songs were the stories of the people he had met, the details of his life from small European clubs to the untouched towns of the Mid-West and were unlike anything he had previously written or sung. And having put those songs down and witnessed the sad demise of his record label, TD Lind came home to England. A copy of that cassette fell into the hands of the highly unique record producer Rupert Hine. A year later, Lind and Hine had made some remarkable recordings. These recordings make up most of his debut album Let’s Get Lost, released in the UK in 2007. In the last two years he’s performed three nights at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire supporting James Blunt, the South By Southwest Festival in Austin Texas, supports with Mew, 93 Feet East in London's Brick Lane, the Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, and opening the Americana Festival in London to rave reviews. A residency in London's Borderline Club through the summer of 2007 and UK tour following over the Autumn of 2007. His rendition of Woody Guthrie’s “Jesus Christ” featured throughout the Julie Walters and Rupert Grint Christmas hit movie Driving Lessons, and he’s just scored the award winning gritty East End gangster documentary film The End, which will be screened at the Raindance Festival in London October 2008. Radio already includes support from BBC Radio2, BBC Radio4, BBC 6Music including: Wogan, Dermot O’Leary, Bob Harris, Janice Long, Alex Lester, Pete Mitchell, The Weekender, Simon Mayo, Mark Radcliff & Stuart Maconie, Phil Jupitus, Big George, and outstanding live sessions on Tom Robinson’s 6Music show and a mesmerizing performance on Radio 4’ Loose Ends, he’s also been made Tom Robinson’s Single-Of-The-Week, as well as being both playlisted and made Album-of-the-Week across BBC , ILR and student regional radio. A finalist to the Independent Awards, he also received huge support from iTunes who not only gave him the highly prestigious honour of Single-of-the-Week but also included him on their Essential music for 2007 compilation.
