I think the only way to bring someone new into the band, would be to do it, because they are looking for someone to fill a need, not because they are looking for someone to serve as a buffer for Stevie and Lindsey. If they need a songwriter and keyboardist, then they should look at people who fill that bill, not bring in someone for another reason.
If they need someone to tour on a ticket with them, that is a different question altogether and the person (or band) you get to fill a venue with you isn't necessarily going to be the same person you'd get to join the band.
As for Lindsey collaborations, I think he should be a little proactive and find people that spark him and see if maybe they can work together, rather than waiting for someone to approach him. When he answered the Q & A questions, he seemed to be open to a few artists, but he seemed to be waiting for a phone call. If he thinks there's the possibility of doing something innovative, don't wait! Reach out.
