Canadian Country Superstar Lindsay Ell has always been on any playlist of mine! From ‘Trippin’ On Us‘ to ‘All Alright‘ and even diggin’ the recent release of her EP album “Worth The Wait” featuring her single ‘Waiting On You‘

Lindsay Ell started dating Country Music DJ Bobby Bones just under a year ago and she made it clear that she was not dating Bobby to get ahead in her career!

Lindsay Ell was scheduled to perform at KNCI 105.1 in Sacramento to promote her new album “Worth The Wait“…well that didn’t go as planned! She was informed that she would not be performing at the radio station!

The real reason her show was cancelled? Because she is dating Bobby Bones (The Bobby Bones Show), who is a direct competitor to the Sacramento radio station KNCI 105.1 FM. She was set to perform with Chase Bryant that day for KNCI but somehow her picture and name didn’t make it on the poster…

Apparently, as an artist, it’s a big “no-no” to tweet your frustrations about radio stations. Lindsay had a hard time keeping it in (can you blame her?)

The station has apologized and said it was a “bad decision”.

KNCI 105.1 said:

“Lindsay is an amazingly talented, up-and-coming artist and today we regrettably made a bad decision to cancel her show. We only hope that she — and our listeners — will forgive us, and that Lindsay and her team will allow us to reschedule the show.”

Her boyfriend Bobby Bones tried to stay out it as much as possible…but during his show on June 19th, Bobby said something that has been on all of our minds just hasn’t been said…

“It really is a microcosm of what’s happening to females in country music.There is a group of programmers that look for things and reasons not to play female artists. I have a list of names that have told her specifically, ‘I’m not playing you ’cause of Bobby.’ Life’s not fair. It wouldn’t happen to a dude.”

 

But you knew she was going to have full support from all other Country Music Radio Stations…

HECK just yesterday I made a point to have her single playing here on Country 106.7 to support her!

Lindsay is on tour with Brad Paisley and she had full support from her tour-mate! He asked her to come back on stage to play her single ‘Waiting On You‘

 

Although Lindsay Ell was dealt some crappy cards (I censored that), she has no problem proving that she belongs with the best of them!

If you haven’t checked out her album…have a listen!
