THURSDAY
: Michelle Lynn @ Uptown Bill’s
6:00 PM // Free, All Ages

Hailing from Decorah, Michelle Lynn found inspiration for her most recent album Sundial Tree in Austin, TX. Taking a sabbatical from the harsh Midwestern winter, Lynn focused her songwriting and develop her record, a concept album that revolves around ideas of numbers and times. The result of these mathematical connections is an album that has soul and creativity. While she calls herself folk-oriented, the music she creates skews more pop. Her voice, for some reason, reminds me a lot of an American Beth Orton. She’s got the same sort of earthiness, while lacking the British diction of Orton. Fans of folk, folk-pop and/or singer-songwriters should have a blast at this show. Her album as well as further information can be found at her website.
