Growing up, Corrie Lynn listened to all genres of music including the Beatles, The Byrds, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Grateful Dead, Michael Jackson, Prince, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Beastie Boys, Nancy Griffin, Dolly Parton, A Tribe Called Quest and N.W.A.
When Corrie Lynn was 14, her mom married a bluegrass musician and the family moved to a small house at the base of Shenandoah National Park. There her stepfather hosted a bluegrass jam every Friday night where Corrie Lynn listened to music and stories from the land and heard the Gospel. At the age of 16, Corrie Lynn started writing her own songs.
During a long walkabout as a young adult, she discovered a broken down abandoned, handmade, clawhammer banjo and began teaching herself to pluck a couple of chords.
As an emerging artist in the music world, Corrie Lynn is continuing to receive national recognition, including placing third in the 2022 Tucson Folk Festival songwriting competition.
In 2022, she received a grant from the Harrisonburg/
Rockingham County Arts Council of the Valley to perform her Appalachian story locally on stage before a sold out audience.
Working with Philadelphia music producer Doug Fearn, Corrie Lynn’s debut album Blow Away
was released in May 2022.
After listening to Corrie Lynn Green's vocals and lyrics, you will find they cut through time and render genre obsolete.
