Some call Lynne’s music country, some call it roots-and-blues, and others call it rough-around-the-edges folk. Lynne refers to her style of music as “porch music with a little red dirt”.
At first listen, Lynne’s warm, gritty, boot stompin’ music leads you through the southern USA, though she hails from Canada. Her sound is born honestly through a lifetime of experience and influence, expressed through the rock, blues and roots that bleeds from her very being. With a liberal amount of Texas grit and a polished Nashville sensibility, Lynne’s songs are familiar and comfortable, yet fearless and strong. She likes things a little rough around the edges, but her deep bluesy croon is pure and full of fortitude. No matter what the song, there’s a weight and a warmth to her expression.
In 2014 Lynne released her fourth album River of Sand with producer Lynn Miles; a JUNO-award winning artist in her own career. River of Sand stands out as the creative output of the personal journey endured over her four-year break, and saw her writing mature into a more intuitive and visceral style. Lynne’s latest album, Uneven Ground, was released this spring and she is currently on tour in support of the album. Although Lynne often tours with a full band, for her Regina show she will be performing solo.
