The romantic life of a travelling working musician; following the next gig, changing towns, even countries to chase an opportunity, to find new stories, to make a living, is not always an easy one. But it certainly brings a rich and experienced life to your playing and your songwriting – and TD Lind’s music is now finally attracting the attention it has so long deserved.

Born and bred in Buckinghamshire he fell in love with rock n roll, jazz and blues at a very early age and spent his formative years after school first playing piano in jazz clubs in Paris and then forming a band and extensively touring the UK. He was then spotted by an American talent scout working for Imago Records, who moved him to New York, where he set himself up in Arthur’s Tavern in Greenwich Village playing piano and meeting his heroes like Alan Ginsberg and Gregory Corso. He played in New York, New Orleans and Los Angeles until finally finding a group of like-minded players in Louisville, Kentucky where he settled for awhile. From there he was signed to the great rock label A&M Records. His band Edenstreet made a highly praised album and toured the US consistently for about three years before A&M were bought and Edenstreet disbanded.

TD Lind hit the road again, and started playing as a solo artist, first in Louisville, then Nashville, Los Angeles and home to London, where he garnered the attention of record producer Rupert Hine and formed a new label deal with Sanctuary Records. The album they made together (Let’s Get Lost) and his following solo album (Call Me Sinner) were ultimately put out through his own Tall Tale Records label, where they gained extraordinary reviews from the music press and support from the UK’s national and regional radio.

TD Lind then fell in love with a girl from Montana and together they moved to LA. He started picking up prestigious gigs - the House of Blues, Café Largo, El Rey’s, several residencies at Hotel Café, playing with the likes of Lucinda Williams and Alejandro Escovedo. Out of these experiences in LA, falling in love, surviving in Hollywood while trying to live your dream as a musician, his third solo album The Outskirts of Prosper evolved. These songs and his live shows started gaining him the attention of people like Randy Newman, Sir Tom Stoppard, Stephen Fry, and indie film director and writer Michael Matzdorff, who commissioned him to write the songs and instrumental score for his new Hollywood movie Feed The Fish starring Tony Shaloub (Monk, Big Night, Barton Fink etc). The film has now gone on to win several highly prestigious festival awards. At the same time TD was also offered a record deal by the great European indie label Dramatico Records to release The Outskirts of Prosper.

TD Lind has spent the last fifteen years on and off touring the US and UK, playing in small bars and jazz clubs as well as before thousands at festivals and concerts. He has supported artists from Ozzy Osbourne to Paul Rogers, James Blunt to Wilco. He has had his music featured in several films and tv shows - the Rupert Grint and Julie Walters hit Driving Lessons, the ABC series The Unusuals, the Dexter Fletcher film Deadwood, and the multi-award winning East End gangster film The End, as well as Feed The Fish. He’s also written for other artists including Duncan James from boy-band Blue, done session work with bands as diverse as The Mavericks to the Moody Blues and worked with producers from Christopher Neil (Gerry Rafferty, Rod Stewart, Mike & The Mechanics etc) to Glyn Johns (The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Eagles, Bob Dylan etc).

As so many of the UK’s music press have discovered, this well travelled, highly experienced, tenacious and romantic singer-songwriter has produced an extraordinary new album. The Outskirts of Prosper is released in the UK and across Europe in May 2011.
