Lindsay Anderson W/ Special Guest Darren Garvey

Evanston-based singer-songwriter Lindsay Anderson returns to SPACE Evanston to present her newest album “Forgiving.” She is best known for her work with the critically acclaimed dream pop group L’Altra. Her performances have reached audiences around the globe, and her talents—voice, lyrics, and instrumentation—have contributed to a wide array of collaborations with artists such as Telefon Tel Aviv (Ghostly, Hefty), Wrekmeister Harmonies (Thrill Jockey), Edith Frost (Drag City) and others.

Well-loved for passionately supporting other artists as a drummer and producer in the indie and folk scene for over 20 years, Darren Garvey sings with the rhythmic clarity of a percussionist and drums with the precision of a poet. His expressive and inventive style has been utilized by a myriad of artists and bands from his Chicago start to his adoption into the Colorado music scene. Multi-instrumentalist Garvey remains a longtime member of Elephant Revival and currently calls Milwaukee home. The title track on his solo album As A Scribble (2025) evokes the wonder of child’s play and the messiness of life. For Darren, songs come from somewhere – an instrument, the confluence of two rivers, a scribble in his daughter’s notebook. As A Scribble utilizes his longtime musical collaborator and Midwest guitar legend, the late Dan McMahon. As two seasoned sidemen, Darren and Dan always pushed each other to release their own music as showcased on the split EP Social Distance (2020).

Darren Garvey and Lindsay Anderson met on the Chicago scene in 2005 and have played on each other’s albums through the years. Darren appears on Lindsay’s solo debut If (2007), L’Altra’s Telepathic (2011), Same Waves Algorithm of Desire (2018), and Lindsay appears on Darren’s solo debut Under A Common Ceiling (2010).
