After a two-year hiatus from local stages, Jamie Lyn returns to delivering her whiskey-neat honky tonk country music to Columbus Ohio with a residency at the Buckeye Hall of Fame Grill at Grandview Yard. So belly up to the bar at 9:00pm on Saturday, August 17th for this series of raucously original neo-traditional country music. Singer, songwriter and producer Jamie Lyn's songs feature stinging lyrics and wry humor. She channels June Carter and Loretta Lynn in her own brand of "Deep Woods Off" country. Featured on the pages of the Village Voice and Columbus Alive, Brooklyn Country.com says “Jamie Lyn infuses her honky-tonk story songs with a whole lot of humor, feeling and good-time energy”. Jamie Lyn was born, raised, and educated in Knox County, Ohio and is heavily influenced by her family’s roots in southwestern Virginia. Foddered on the great classic country artists of the 20th century, Jamie Lyn took her songs to Los Angeles and New York to continue the great tradition of music by and for working people, that neither fetishizes nor over-brands their lives. She tells real stories, about real people, and doesn’t flinch from the reality of rural life, taking aim at cheating husbands, CMT’s sellout to “pop country”, and the neighbor lady’s methamphetamine addiction. Jamie Lyn has co-hosted the Brooklyn Country Music Festival, founded the Honky Tonk Angels show in New York City, fronted the bands Red Tail Hawk and Fort Knox, and started the Honky Tonk Happy Hour, Columbus’ longest-running country music show. Above all, Jamie Lyn makes sure that her audience has a good time moving country music forward, but keeping one eye firmly trained on the rear-view mirror.
