In the title track of Music In Me, Lindsey Webster sings her own origin story: “I remember the first time in my life / Singing standards in the background every night.” She grew up in Woodstock, in an artistic household where the record collection ran from Jimi Hendrix to Elvis Costello to The Supremes, and she has spent her career carrying that early education outward, through jazz venues and festivals across the country, to a four-week run at #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz chart, to a seventh studio album that finds her working at perhaps her most expansive. On Sunday, September 13, she brings it back home, playing Colony Woodstock on Rock City Road, a few miles from where it all started.
About the Show
Webster’s latest record, Music In Me, arrived February 27, 2026, on Shanachie Records, a 13-track album that Jazz Weekly described as carrying a “Soul Train vibe,” drawing on 1970s disco, soul, and funk alongside the smooth jazz foundation that has defined her sound. The record reaches outward: R&B artists Stokley and Anthony Hamilton contribute duets, trumpeter Keyon Harrold and guitarist Isaiah Sharkey appear among the featured musicians, and one standout reimagines the 1981 Stephanie Mills and Teddy Pendergrass hit “Two Hearts” as a duo with Stokley. Soulracks offered the most efficient characterization of her appeal: “If Carole King and Sade had a kid, she would be Lindsey Webster.”
The Sade comparison arrives with history behind it. In 2016, “Fool Me Once” became the first vocal-driven track to top the Billboard Contemporary Jazz chart since Sade’s “Soldier of Love” six years prior; Webster held the position for four weeks, one week longer than Sade had managed. Billboard named her the #1 Contemporary Jazz Artist that year. Popmatters called her “classy, consistent, and exceptional”; All About Jazz credited her with “keeping the tradition alive and taking it to the next level.”
Venue & Logistics
A homecoming show means something different when the hometown is Woodstock. Colony occupies a nearly century-old building on Rock City Road, described in its own materials as “a true Catskills artists’ haven,” with modern sound and lighting inside a room that holds 150 people. For a vocalist whose range rewards close listening, the intimacy is earned rather than incidental. The venue is part of the Hudson Valley music circuit. Doors open at 6 p.m.; the show starts at 7 p.m. All ages welcome; those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
