Lera Lynn

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.
