Nathan Blake Lynn

Bio:

Nathan Blake Lynn is a writer of historical fiction. Born in Paducah, Ky and raised on backwater gospel, Lynn grew up to perform in a number of settings including Whiskey Dickens and The Blood River Bluegrass Band. In December of 2004 Lynn helped found the Western Kentucky band Bawn In The Mash. In July of 2009 he left the band to focus on other projects.

Lynn's first studio album, "Two Catfish and a Bluegill," contains 17 original songs full of history, comedy, and plenty of love. His second album, "Who Said the Worlds Fair," highlights 10 orginal songs and a number of Nashville's finest.





"His latest writing reflects his recent residence on the banks of the Mississippi River, where the spirits of iconic St. Louis storytellers Mark Twain and John Hartford communed in his guitar amidst the dusty barns and rolling hills of his lingering Western," Dave Stallard, Blueridge Outdoors

"As free flowing as the Ohio River, and as uniquely Paducahan as the Irvin Cobb, Lynn's sense of place pervades every folk ballad tune and his story-telling lyrics." Adum Shull, The Paducah Sun

"Nathan Blake Lynns ill skills in gravel road break dancing and funky fresh sharpie tat's leaves crowds screaming for more." The Whistler Magazine.

Long time friend Wes Kaintuck credits Lynn with being, "the sorghum, on a cool October morning."
