Remembering the fall. Folding in the winter. Reaching for the warm.
As a contingent of the rising Michigan indie/folk scene, Misty Lyn pens haunting melodies over simple arrangements that traverse the gothic, literary fringes of American roots music. Pulling from a wealth of vivid, melancholic subject matter, her songs are cathartic and poetically rich works that stand boldly on their own, but when accompanied by her quartet, the Big Beautiful, realize new potential. She writes of her childhood struggles and the ensuing trials and tribulations encountered while working toward a greater purpose in life. While her music also celebrates the simple joy of being alive, there is always a common thread of nostalgia for things that are lost and those that are fading.
"It was in the 19th century that faith in science invited an analogous faith in history: that history has laws, that it could be known, that it followed a pattern. What we believe now--certainly what I believe--is very different. History is impossible to penetrate, and that is its great richness." ~R. Kapuscinski
