Description

A blue sky prairie girl from Saskatoon SK with a guitar, a ukulele & a suitcase full of original songs. From kitchen party singalongs to soulful ballads.  Wonderfully simple melodies wrapped around a good story & served up with distinctive vocals.  Appealing to those who like solid lyrics, folk, traditional country & unique voices.  

Lyn finally took her music out of the bathroom (best acoustics in the house) to the rest of the world with her single song CD The cardinal in the window (2007) to raise money for cancer research; full length albums All Over the Map (2009) & Next Time Around (2013); & single song CD The Veil of Tamar (2014).  New album coming in 2017.
