Houston-born, Georgia-bred, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Lera Lynn creates music that slides and slips through category’s grasp like a watermelon seed. Call it Americana, rockabilly, roots, folk, or country—or just call it Lera Lynn, who says “I just want to stop thinking about music as a marketing campaign. Ray Charles went from jazz to R&B to country. Paul McCartney will do a ballad next to ‘Helter Skelter,’ and not think twice. I’m just doing what moves me as it comes.” Lynn appears at Strathmore just three days after the release of her newest album The Avenues—hear her most recent songs in this must-hear Mansion concert.
