Lera Lynn Live
Lera Lynn makes the sort of shimmering, swooning folk music that's more about texture than twang. She's playing in Hastings on April 18.

Her new album The Avenues (out now) has earned praise everywhere from NPR All Things Considered to ranking #14 on American Songwriter’s top 50 albums of 2014 who calls the album “an immersive, sensual experience.” She also nabbed a spot on Rolling Stone’s Top Country Album of the Year, as well as Huffington Post’s Music Picks for 2014.
Along with performing on The Late Show, Lera began 2015 with live session on Sirius XM’s The Loft, a tour in Texas, and the premiere of a new single.

“A unique soldier in the Americana landscape [with] threads of country [but] a stronger inclination towards the more free-wheeling, free-form folk of Fiona Apple, Traci Chapman or Joni Mitchell” - Rolling Stone
“Dark and dreamy, like some open-ended expanse of country land just before sunrise” -American Songwriter, 4 stars
