About Lynn Drury:
A performer since childhood, Lynn Drury’s first accolade was at the age of five. She won a 4-H pole-bending competition in her native Mississippi. Though her rodeo career didn’t follow her into adulthood, she was primed and ready for the spotlight by the time she first picked up a guitar nearly twenty years later.
Born in Yazoo City, MS and raised in Carriere, MS, Drury relocated to New Orleans, LA in the mid-nineties and performed her unique style of roots rock on most of the stages in the city. Over the past two decades, that meticulously cultivated style – NOLAmericana® – has brought Drury’s original music to stages all over the world. At once personal with a distinct voice, this is definitive New Orleans Americana created in a city that moves to its own groove.
Drury’s impressive catalog includes “Crossing Frequencies” (2001), “Blackberry Winter” (2002 with Bad Mayo), “Spun” (2003 with Bad Mayo), “All You Need” (2006), “Dal Vivo (2009), “Sugar on the Floor “ (2011), “Come to My House” (2014), 2017’s critically acclaimed “Rise of the Fall," and latest album, "Dancin' In The Kitchen," (2021)
The new album "Dancin' In The Kitchen" is out now! It features Ric Robertson on fiddle and vocals, Rene Coman on Bass, Chris Pylant on Drums and vocals, Sam Fribush on organ/keys, Alex Mallet on lead guitar and vocals, Rurik Nunan on fiddle and vocals, and Ted Hefko playing clarinet. Also featured is Jake Gold on St. Tammany and Michael Girardot on Trumpet. Chris Adkins lending lead guitar on "Good Stuff."
