La Crosse Tribune mention by Geri Parlin

Singer-songwriter Michelle Lynn returns to the area for a couple shows this spring.

When she left town last year, she headed toward the Twin Cities.  She decided that was not for her and ended up in Austin, Texas, instead, where she recorded a new album, Pre-Echoes for the Postmodern.

Her songs range from the Latin-tinged Ouroboros, to the alt-rock Death by Fear, a collaboration with producer Brahman Shaman.

Locally, you can catch her at 8:30 p.m. March 20 at The Root Note, 115 S. Fourth St. ($3 cover and all ages welcome), where she will be joined by Hyphon and Brahman Shaman. She also will perform at 10 p.m. March 25 at Del's, 229 S. Third St. (free) and at 7 p.m. April 3 at the Trempealeau Hotel, Trempealeau (free.)

Her CD will be available at her shows, Dave's Guitar, Deaf Ear and online at http://michellelynn.bandcamp.com.

La Crosse Tribune article by Geri Parlin

"Local singer-songwriter Michelle Lynn says it’s time to move on"

At 22, Michelle Lynn is starting over again — new town, new clubs, new friends.

“I just want to be a mobile person.”

And so the singer-songwriter will finish out her teaching assistant job in La Crescent through the end of the term in February and then pack up her guitar, her poems, her dreams, and try to make it in the Twin Cities.
...

She doesn’t like to confine herself to one genre of music but says her starting point is folk music.

“I’d say folk is the reference point, but other things can stream out of it so fast and then it goes right back into that traditional folk. As long as it’s one girl with a guitar, how far can you stray? I like to pound out the emotions. I’m trying to take on subjects that should be written about. I really want to find music that has stuff in there.”
