The south has a way of cultivating a heavy warmth that is capable of working itself deep into the seams of heart and home. The music that streams from this part of the world is not exempt to these effects as is the case with Athens Georgia's Lera Lynn (Birds&Wire). In a deep shade of bourbon blue, Lera spins tragic tales and lessons in love, all performed with two parts indifference and one part tender sway. Lera’s astute, worn-down lyrics and sophisticated songwriting hang in juxtaposition against her young, blue eyes and bright-sounding songs. Performing with a band or solo, Lera Lynn has mastered the effects of fiery dynamics and subtle delivery. You can expect the live show to be an experience spanning a full range of emotions. “Leralynn's full-bodied, crystal clear voice rings with the same magnetism of Neko Case or Jenny Lewis.”--Flagpole Magazine--
