Bio
"Lynn produces a full sound with his percussive acoustic guitar stylings. From the standard folk songs to smoky grooves to soulful blues, Lynn rarely misses."
For over two decades, the Northern Michigan songwriter has been described as “ear candy for the soul," his evocative voice, haunting melodies, and percussive guitar stylings, has created a unique style of a Dark Americana, Alternative Folk, and Blues that will surely entice and enhance your musical palette.
Lynn’s songs are Innovative tapestry formed by a lifetime’s worth of hard earned wisdom. His percussive style of playing has been compared to the likes of Keller Williams and Michael Hedges. His songs fall somewhere between the blues of Muddy Waters, the soul of Bob Dylan and the open jam of the Grateful Dead. Lynn seeks to examine every corner of the mind. Love lost, tragedy and triumph, are all woven together to paint a complete picture of his view of the world.
Since releasing his first album in "Closer to Fossil", Lynn's recorded 5 more, and has been a steady presence on the American /folk and blues scene across the United States and Canada. He has shared stages with Brian Vander Ark, David Loggins "Please Come to Boston Fame" Canned Heat, Hot Tuna playing over 200 shows a year, everywhere from national festivals to the featured artist at "Woodsongs Radio Hour" as well as the Bluebird Cafe in a Nashville. He describes his style as a " Dark American Blues style" and because of this his fans have dubbed his sound as "Ear Candy for the Soul"
