Welcome!
Singing songs has sustained me my entire life.
Performing has taken me to Vienna, Prague, Havana, Delaware Water Gap, Vancouver and Montreal to sing my songs. Live music is the most enriching and soul-mending gift I have to offer. Having sustained losses over my lifetime, attending live performance reminds me of the infinite expanse and depth of the human soul. Improvised music, especially, requires telepathy both intuitive and responsive. So, thank you for allowing me to indulge and share my “favorite things” with you.
The voice, lyric, melody, rhythm, recording and interpretation; Of SONGS!!
Lynn's music is available to listen to and purchase on Bandcamp.
