Lindi Ortega is a Toronto girl who fled to Nashville to pursue her dream. She doesn’t want to be a mainstream country star, because she’d lose creative control, so she flirts with the boundaries of classic country and indie music. This had led her down an interesting path, opening for Southern California punk legends Social Distortion and even doing a Ramones cover with Tim Armstrong from Rancid.

I caught up with the singer songwriter who is known for her signature red boots.
