Lynn Drury is a singer-songwriter based out of New Orleans whose own style of music she has dubbed “NOLA-Americana” reflects the rich melange of musical styles and traditions of the city. Drury hails from Yazoo City, Mississippi and earlier in her life she was a pole bending champ winning a 4-H competition at the age of five. Music didn’t become her life the way it is now until she picked up the guitar at 26 and immersed herself in the scenery and culture of New Orleans and cultivating her own voice and style that weaves together strands of country, folk, jazz, R&B and pop. Her new record High Tide finds the songwriter exploring themes of time, cycles of life, our patterns of living and reflecting on where we’ve been and where we’re going and appreciating the present. Musically Drury stretches out her sound palette even more without sacrificing the vividly homespun quality of the songwriting and the immediacy of her performances. Though the official release date for the album is as yet to be announced the album release party is scheduled for April 13, 2024 at Maple Leaf, NOLA.
