From the Press
“Is Nathan Lynn a river hobbit? Perhaps. His wife thinks so. I don’t know. What I will say, though, is Nathan is a singer/songwriter who has found his authentic voice. With Tales of a River Hobbit, Nathan establishes himself as a mature songwriter grounded in his sense of place. That place is Kentucky, the sloughs & hollers near the confluence of the Tennessee & Ohio river. That place is father, friend & husband, the gardens & campfires, the sick children & self-introspection & death of growing older. This album is all of those things delivered using the broad spectrum of his musical talent. It pays respect to Kentucky’s diverse musical heritage while being a stand alone piece of moving songwriting & pickin’.”

“His latest album, Tales of a River Hobbit, reveals a man who is beginning to see a culmination of emotion from his musical experiences that, in itself, leads to new songs that can only from from seasoned experience. It is a bluegrassy, bluesy journey.”
“As with most time-tested musicians, Nathan’s come to understand the cost of his passion for songwriting and performing, knowing that his life remains an intricate balance among the pursuits and the people he loves.”
–J.T. Crawford, Paducah Life Magazine
“Lynn’s second solo release, Who Said The World’s Fair?, highlights the wit and wisdom of this budding young songwriter. Produced by Grammy Award winner and Nashville studio ace Phil Harris, the record includes guest appearances by Tim O’Brien, Julie Lee, Mike Bub, and Tyler Grant, and gracefully blends Lynn’s old country, mountain blues, and bluegrass influences.”
