“Haunting” is often a word overused by music enthusiasts, but in the case of Lera Lynn, this is the perfect descriptor. Blending indie rock and folk noir, the Nashville-based singer-songwriter pushes the boundaries of traditional Americana music into dramatic soundscapes that equally match her moody lyrics. Her latest release Comic Book Cowboy further distinguishes Lynn from her peers. Avoiding the crutches of folk cliches, Lynn is uniquely herself.
