Born into the Icelandic community in Manitoba, Lindy Vopnfjörd started his music career early.  By four, he was singing cautionary songs about nuclear war and traveling around with his musician parents and extended family in a bus.  Lindy has been touring for over 20 years, releasing 7 albums, where his last album "Young Waverer" had two Number 1 hits on CBC Radio 2 and CBC Radio 3 in 2013.  Leslie Feist, Ron Sexsmith, Hayden, Tegan & Sara, Serena Ryder, and Luke Doucet are  not just aware of Lindy’s music – they are fans.
