Amy Lynn Music

Amy Lynn was born in Jacksonville, Florida, but calls East Tennessee her hometown. She has lived in East Tennessee most of her life and now resides in Seymour, Tennessee with her husband (Michael) and two children (Jadyn and Logan). Amy Lynn began singing in church at the young age of three, and started taking piano lessons at age 7, however, her journey into being a singer-songwriter did not begin until May 2013. Following the loss of a child, Lynn and her husband took a last minute weekend trip to Nashville for a change of environment. They decided to make an impromptu stop at the Grand Ole Opry for a guided tour and as Amy Lynn stood on that sacred stage, she was overcome with deep emotion. Suddenly she realized, for twenty-nine years, she had been living everyone else's dream for her life. That day began a new journey for Lynn and she set out to be a dreamer. No limits, and no turning back. She began to ask herself "what is my story? what do I have to give to the world around me? how can I help others heal?" She returned home and began writing songs and preparing to publicly perform outside of church for the first time. She booked her first concert at Remedy Coffee's Backroom in Knoxville’s Old City on July 31, 2015 and performed to a sold out crowd of 200. It quickly became apparent that although Amy Lynn has a quiet and reserved demeanor, her approach to music is bold, different, fresh and alive. There is an undeniable piece of Lynn in each of her songs, and during her performances, caught up in that musical story, many are moved to tears. Her strong vocals are a treat to listen to, but Amy Lynn's biggest strength is her storytelling. She has her audience captivated by her stories both in her songs and in between. Sharing her experiences, Amy Lynn's heartfelt songs are made all the more interesting because there is no acting or pretending in what she does. She has lived her music and her lyrics. Her voice is soulful, clear and powerful, yet possesses an unmistakably beautiful vulnerability. In Amy Lynn there is the miracle of a quiet, gentle soul that has drawn melodies and lyrics from a deep well of life experiences… abuse, loss, and tragedy, yet a soul that has taken flight, and in that flight, the listener experiences hope and the courage to be a dreamer. It is important to Lynn that her listeners not only hear, but experience her songs and she finds concrete ways to bring the listener face to face with each one. After completing her first song, “Fly Away”, which was written for the baby she and her husband lost to miscarriage in 2012, she began to visualize a way for people who had experienced this kind of loss to be able to express their love and memory of their little ones. Shortly after, the dream on Lynn's heart became a reality and The Fly Away Memory Wall was born. The story circulated on social media and in less than a week, Lynn's simple video displaying the memory wall, was viewed over 21,000 times. The response was immediate and overwhelming. Over 3,000 names were emailed to her from around the world, from families asking that their baby's name be added to the memory wall. Two more walls are being constructed and the memory wall is set for completion on November 19th, 2015, when all of the names will be added. On October 23, 2015 Amy Lynn released her debut EP album, titled "Bulletproof" and held her EP Release Show that evening at Sun Dance Farms in Knoxville, Tennessee. The place was electric with anticipation as Lynn took the stage for her second performance, singing her stories for over 400 people that night. Lynn's five song EP (country genre) was recorded and produced by Travis Wyrick at Lakeside Studio's in Knoxville, Tennessee. Amy is currently spending much time writing with hopes of recording a full album in the next year (singer-songwriter/pop). Lynn says, "you know, I think it's taken the past two years of writing and performing to really understand who I am and discover who I want to be as an artist and I've finally found a place in writing and performing that feels like home and I can't wait to share it with everyone!" In the mean time, Lynn is scheduled to perform for the children at Royal Family Kids' Camp in Sumner, Iowa this summer, and will also be performing at the Smoky Mountain Songwriters Festival in Gatlinburg, Tennessee in August.
