LINDSEY STIRLING UNVEILS CAPTIVATING COVER OF LED ZEPPELIN’S “KASHMIR”
SONG RELEASES SAME DAY AS STIRLING’S LOLLAPALOOZA PARIS DEBUT, JUST BEFORE THE START OF HER U.S. TOUR AUGUST 1ST
Today, dancing pop-violin sensation Lindsey Stirling releases her cover of Led Zeppelin’s rock anthem “Kashmir” via Lindseystomp Music. Renowned for her unique blend of hard-hitting violin, electrifying dance, and contemporary beats, Lindsey Stirling’s interpretation of “Kashmir” pays homage to the iconic rock classic while infusing it with her unmistakable style and virtuosity. Combining her signature violin mastery with bold electronic elements and an infectious energy, Stirling’s rendition revitalizes the beloved track, giving it a fresh and modern twist.
“’Kashmir’ has always been one of my favorite rock songs and I’m so excited I got to work with the legendary producers Howard Benson (Motörhead, All American Rejects) and Neil Sanderson (Three Days Grace, My Darkest Days) on imagining a way to bring it to life in my style,” Lindsey shares.
As an artist who has consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible with the violin, Lindsey Stirling’s “Kashmir” cover serves as a testament to her musical innovation and her ability to seamlessly bridge the gap between genres. Her arrangement captivates listeners with its dynamic range, showcasing her ability to transition from delicate and ethereal moments to explosive crescendos. Lindsey’s electric violin folds into the epic melody of the rock classic seamlessly, in a unique take on Led Zeppelin’s song.
Alongside the song, today, Lindsey Stirling will make her Lollapalooza Paris debut on the mainstage, just before kicking off her five-week US summer tour. Stirling’s live show amazes audiences with a “combination of cutting-edge performances… along with her signature genre-bending, amped-up orchestrations” (Consequence). Stirling has performed for more than 800,000 people on her headline tours, and her run of dates with Evanescence was named one of Live Nation’s best-selling amphitheater tours. Multi-platinum pop band Walk off the Earth will support Stirling on her US tour. See full tour routing below.
