Lera Lynn

Born in Houston, Texas, Nashville-based, Georgia-bred singer-songwriter, Lera Lynn's music may be hard to categorize, but that is likely why she appeals to so many.

There's a haunting voice that can conjure country legends or the best of the singer-songwriters. There's an understated presence and raw talent. There's a writer in full command of her craft. "There are definitely aspects of earlier country in there, rockabilly and Western swing, music of the Patsy Cline era," Lynn says. "I take some things from people like Conway Twitty and some of the other old country greats, and that's very different from what country is now. Maybe that's why the 'country noir' label is applied to my music so frequently. It probably should be 'real country,' or 'authentic country music.'"

Lynn's new album, The Avenues, produced by Joshua Grange, is due for national release on Sept. 9, 2014. Melodic, atmospheric, and intensely introspective, the material on The Avenues is entirely self-penned and fearlessly personal. With The Avenues, Lynn has created a mature album that resolutely defies pigeonholing. There is respect and nostalgia for the past while still pushing towards the future.
