Music started in the Lindsey home long before any of the children came along. Alan, better known as "Skip", Lindsey has been playing guitar, singing, rallying group songs around campfires, and leading worship in churches for more than twenty years. His wife, Tammy, compliments his talent with vocals (and keeps providing more upcoming talent!) Perhaps more appealing than the family's professional standing, which is still in the development stage, is the refreshing air they bring of the "good ‘ole days" when families prayed together and played together. That's what Skip and his family love to do! They simply bring the songs and music that take place naturally in their home to the stage, and represent a togetherness not commonly seen in our culture. When Jared, the first of the children, was only four years old, he started playing guitar and singing, next came Ben on the fiddle, then Caleb on the mandolin... and so began a long line of musicians and singers.

The Lindseys first sang publicy in 2003 when they were asked by the local bluegrass association to play for an outside event called "Utica Monday Night." At the time, they hadn't really prepared any music to perform. They just sang and played together at home and during the bluegrass jams that they loved to attend. Believing that it might bless others to share what seemed to come naturally, Skip agreed to the performance which resulted in the subsequent performances of The Lindsey Family Band which have become more frequent every year since.
