HONKY TONK ANGELS is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Jamie Lyn, a veterana of the Brooklyn Country music scene, who noticed the abundance of female talent but dearth of recognition for women singer songwriters composing and performing country music with as much proficiency and nerve as the songs of their male colleagues. A country-music traditionalist, Jamie Lyn was raised in rural Ohio by migrant Virginians who brought the music the Appalachian mountain region with them when they moved north. She started this site as a springboard for collaboration among women making country music in the New York City Area. Join the fray.
Hey Jamie Lyn - What a fantastic line-up of country women singing their ever-lovin' hearts out you put together for Saturday! Great show! Was great to be back onstage for the first time since May with you! Can't wait to bring my band for the Dec. 20 show! Your fan AND friend, Lindy Loo
Hey guys - I'm doing some old 60s/70s country at Don't Tell Mama this Wednesday 9/17 (and Tue. 9/30). Would love to see any of you there!! Info at www.MoonshineMartinis.com Best, Shannon
Hey all you Honky Tonk Angels! I'm a singer/songwriter in Brooklyn and I'm looking for other songwriters to collaborate with in the hopes of coming up with some new Country songs. Let me know if this is you!
