Meet our Writers

Lindsay Koob • scorpsinger@aol.com • recent posts
Lindsay is Charleston’s premier music expert and concert reviewer. He has written reviews for the Post & Courier and still writes for the Charleston City Paper. Lindsay had a fantasy-ridden, army-brat upbringing, featuring culture-soaked interludes (with music lessons) in places like Vienna, Austria. He graduated from The Citadel, went on to work for the Pentagon, and has long fashioned a freelance career writing about music. Lindsay has a unique ear and a rare ability to offer insight into classical music, and we are fortunate indeed to have him at CharlestonToday.
