Mersey hosting acclaimed singer-songwriter

She is performing at The Mersey House in Liverpool on July 19.

Since the release of her debut CD, Things I Miss this past September, Lynne has been attracting critical praise. The track “River By My Side” received the 2006 Blues Award from the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals (OCFF), and the title track was judged to be one of the Best Songs of 2006 by the Indie Acoustic Project.

She is also receiving critical acclaim in the United States.

The youngest in a family of eight children, Lynne was exposed to a diverse array of musical eras and styles as she grew up. Her songs often capture a moment in time and invite the listener to explore universal themes of love, life and relationships. The result is a truly unique brand of music that merges thought-provoking lyrics with Texas soul-country.

The release of Things I Miss follows five years of performing and honing her musical skills with Ottawa guitarist/songwriter Shane Simpson (David Francey, James Cohen) in coffeehouses, bars and festivals across Canada. In addition to performing as a singer-songwriter, Lynne has toured with storyteller Ruth Stewart Verger, providing musical support during the telling of the story of Marie-Anne Lagimodière.
