Lindi Ortega Shares Video for "Waiting 'Round To Die"

Lindi Ortega’s stark and foreboding performance of “Waiting 'Round To Die,” from her recent  EP, receives an equally chilling visual companion with a new self-directed video, out today via Huffington Post. "Lindi Ortega shows she isn't afraid of the dark," Huffington Post writes, "It was only natural for the affecting Canadian artist to cover one of Americana’s finest storytellers, then paint his tale black and white in a haunting music video." 
 
Shot in the Badlands of Alberta and featuring friends and locals, Ortega’s video captures bleakness and beauty of time and place. Of her relationship to the original song, Ortega says, "This EP was heavily influenced by Townes Van Zandt, which is why I included one of his tunes on the EP. I am in awe of his song-writing and his storytelling. I want to be a storyteller, whether it’s telling my own story, the story of an exotic dancer, or the story of the road of life and the resilience that we humans must have in order to get through this thing we call living."

Ortega sets out on an extensive summer tour that kicks off on the west coast and includes multiple festivals, an opening slot for Kenny Rogers, headlining gigs in Brooklyn and Philadelphia and a performance at AmericanaFest 2017 in Nashville.
