Lynn Drury

Lynn Drury is an award-winning songwriter with a distinctive voice and a style all her own.  In a town known for second lines and brass band beats, she has managed to forge her own sound that seamlessly melds her country roots in Mississippi with the grooviness of her adopted home, New Orleans.  She’s been a regular favorite at French Quarter Fest and New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival for years, and has played just about everywhere in town. Over the past two decades, that meticulously cultivated style – NOLAmericana® – has brought Drury’s original music to stages all over the world. Her latest record, “High Tide,” (April 2024) Produced by Papa Mali (Ruthie Foster, 7 Walkers) features Papa on lead guitars which provides the perfect landscape to capture Drury’s essence as a songwriter. With a great backing rhythm section of Doug Belote and Rene Coman, it also features special appearances by Yvette Landry, Roddie Romero, Jason Mingledorff, Rurik Nunan, Satoru Ohashi & Andriu Yanovski.

“An Absolute Triumph! Drury conveys the feelings of a strong, independent woman who refuses to be thrown out of the saddle, but at the same time, she has warmth that is stirring and inviting. It is this combination of softness and strength that makes Drury’s music intriguing and beautiful.” -Offbeat
