LINDSI WEAVER
17 year old Lindsi Weaver
has crafted a new album (Produced by

life of today's teens, without the
corporate label sugarcoating, in a
manner that conveys the honest
rollercoaster of pain, joy and being
a teenage girl! In the vein of
Michelle Branch and Avril Lavigne,
yet unique in her maturity and vocal
quality - the new release "Grounded"
shows just that - a new artist
grounded in life and ready for the
stars. (Email
