NEWS RELEASE
ALGOMA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC
*************************
Lynn Miles is not only one of Canada's best-loved singer songwriters, she is one of the best on this planet, period. She is also a record producer, voice teacher, writer, and public speaker. Her richly textured and distinctive voice offers compelling lyrics and arrangements, to transport you on a sonic journey of finely executed instrumentation with mostly folk and country influences. You arrive at the end of each song longing for another.
Lynn has honed her craft in all the musical cities that matter, leaving her home in Ottawa to live for several years in Los Angeles and Nashville, and releasing 16 albums along the way. She won a Juno award in 2003 for Roots Traditional Album of the year, and went on to be nominated in the same categories in 2011 and 2006. She is also the recipient of six Canadian Folk Music Awards including three for songwriter of the year. Her two most recent awards were as songwriter of the year, and ensemble of the year at the 2018 Canadian Folk Music Awards. In 2016, Americana artist Clair Lynch recorded Lynn’s song “Black Flowers” on her Grammy nominated album “North By South.” Lynn estimates she’s written about 900 songs, she’s never done an official count.
Her most recent album “tumbleweedyworld” was nominated for album of the year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, and her previous album “We'll Look For Stars" was #1 on the Euro/americana chart for the month of August 2020.
There are country motifs aplenty, along with intimate confessions, heartache, farewells, wry wit and in the end, hopeful redemption. She’s also pretty funny, a three minute stand-up routine is at the top of her bucket list!
