LERA LYNN IN CONCERT:
Americana songstress Lera Lynn amassed a cult following over the course of seven years before she caught her big break in 2015 after performing her noir-tinged folk ballads on several episodes of HBO's crime drama True Detective. Fans will instantly recognize the haunting melodies and stark guitar work of series standouts like "The Only Thing Worth Fighting For" and "My Least Favorite Life" as the singer recaptures their heartbreaking sentiment in concert. Lynn excels at melancholy tunes, but she's equally impressive on uptempo indie rock gems like "Shapeshifter" and twangy country favorites like "Out to Sea." Whether ticket buyers are there to have a blast with her rollicking ditties or experience the gut-wrenching sounds she debuted on True Detective, they'll find plenty to love at Lera Lynn's dynamic concerts.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Though she played music as a teenager, Lera Lynn didn't seriously pursue songcraft until she graduated the University of Georgia in 2008. After a few years of local gigging in Athens, GA, she self-produced her 2011 debut Have You Met Lera Lynn? Her 2014 sophomore album The Avenues brought more notoriety, especially after she performed "Out to Sea" on The Late Show with David Letterman later that year. T Bone Burnett, the music supervisor for HBO crime drama True Detective, was impressed and began collaborating with Lynn and songwriter Roseanne Cash to produce four songs for the series. Lynn also performed the songs in five episodes, and the increased visibility helped her launch a headlining tour the following year. Things are definitely looking up for Lera Lynn as she continues to impress with her versatile live shows and increasingly accomplished recorded output, which includes 2016's Resistor.
