    How Lindsay Ell Found Her Sound & Her Power
    Oct 27 2025
    Singer, songwriter, and guitar powerhouse Lindsay Ell opens up in this revealing episode of Spout. From touring the world with Shania Twain to standing shoulder-to-shoulder with John Mayer, Lindsay shares what it’s really like to play beside your heroes — and then realize you’ve become one yourself. She talks about walking away from Nashville’s country box to finally make the pop-rock music she’s always dreamed of, the bold emotional honesty behind her new EP Fence Sitter, and the deeply personal decision that inspired its title track — the question of whether to become a mother. Lindsay also reflects on being vulnerable online, hosting Canada’s Got Talent, starting her Make You Movement for survivors of sexual trauma, and the powerful lessons she’s learned from icons who’ve shaped her journey. If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, purpose, or the pressure to fit in, this episode is your permission slip to own every side of your story. Learn more about your ad choices.

    On this episode of The Spout Podcast, host Tamara Dhia sits down with LANY — Jake and Paul — to talk about their sixth studio album, Soft. The band opens up about the record’s meaning, how Jake’s near-fatal car accident reshaped his outlook, and why holding onto your softness might be the hardest thing to do in a hard world.
