Embracing the sweetness of soul and the intricacies of jazz, Lindsey Webster is one of the most talked about vocalists in the music industry since releasing her self-titled, self-released CD in 2013. And the justified talk keeps spreading like wildfire. Though marketed primarily as a smooth jazz artist, Webster’s musicality goes way further with an arsenal of concert performances including the poignant “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” and the intensity behind Chaka Khan’s, “Ain’t Nobody.” Her first major hit, “Fool Me Once,” followed by “Back to Your Heart,” showcased an already engaging voice demonstrating poise and power. In yet another musical direction, the Woodstock, NY native gift wraps what could be a future Christmas standard, inspired by the calm, effortless stylings of Nat King Cole.

Her original composition co-penned with longtime collaborator and husband Keith Slattery, “It’s Gonna Snow on Christmas,” brings back the joyful memories of holidays past with more of a traditional jazz perspective: “Now don't forget/ Those last minute things/Candy canes and tinsel for the tree/ 'Cause this year, it's gonna’ snow on Christmas." Now signed to Shanachie Entertainment, Webster is currently one of the youngest talents dominating the contemporary jazz community. So enjoy some refreshing holiday pleasantries at Webster’s personal invitation on “It’s Gonna Snow on Christmas.”
