Lindsay Ell reveals why she could not 'say no' to Shania Twain

Lindsay Ell made her place in the music industry not only by her musical prowess but by collaborating with the likes of Shania Twain and Randy Bachman.

From her first album to touring with Buddy Guy and then establishing herself as one of Canadian country-pop’s bona fide artists, Ell has now released her latest EP, Love Myself as well as taken on the role of hosting the revived Canada's Got Talent.

Additionally, speaking to Guitar.com, Ell recalled the time when her resume got an impressive boost by becoming the Any Man of Mine singer’s go-to lead guitarist.

“I never saw sidemanning being a part of my job,” Ell told the outlet, adding, “When she asked me at the beginning of the year if I would come be her lead guitar player, I just was like, ‘Um, how can I say no to Shania?’ But what an exciting adventure!”

With the musician having supported Twain on multiple dates of the 2023, wildly popular, Queen of Me tour in 2023, she fully became recruited by the Canadian icon having done several performances, including the Las Vegas Come On Over residency shows and the Legend slot at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.

“It’s been so wild playing the songs that I learned to sing and play on guitar when I was really little, now standing on stage three feet away from her,” Lindsay Ell further mentioned.
