On November 19, 2021, I was able to photograph Robyn Ottolini and Lindsay Ell at Midway for their first stop of Ell’s Want Me Back Canadian tour at Midway in Edmonton, Alberta.
Who is Robyn Ottolini? She is a Canadian singer/song writer from Toronto based out of Nashville, Tennessee. Her “viral” song which blew up on the app Tik Tok is called “F-150” and has another hit called “Sincerely Drunk Me”. She was signed to Warner Music Nashville in 2020. She performed a medley of late 90s/early 00’s songs – some country and some rock. It even included Smash Mouth’s hit “All-Star”.
Hailing from Calgary, Alberta, Lindsay Ell was the headlining artist for tonight’s show, and she did not disappoint. She opened her set with the hit “Criminal” and the crowd loved it. She had a commanding stage presence and showed some serious chops when soloing on guitar. It was a pleasure to photograph her and see a real powerhouse in the music industry.
Watch for more coverage of the Want Me Back Tour coming this week!
