Coming from a country renowned for having outstanding singer-songwriters, Lynn Miles is considered Canadian songwriting royalty. With a JUNO Award (Canadian Grammy)in 2003 for Roots Traditional Album of the year, Lynn subsequently scored JUNO nominations in 2011 and 2006. She has taken home six Canadian Folk Music Awards including three for Songwriter of the Year.
Lynn was a staff songwriter for LA based publisher Criterion Music, along side Lyle Lovett, Rosanne Cash and Rodney Crowell. Her first record deal was with Rounder Records in the US and Continental Records in The Netherlands. She is currently signed to True North Records in Canada.
In 2016, American bluegrass artist Clair Lynch recorded Lynn's song "Black Flowers" on her Grammy-nominated album “North By South”.
Lynn’s 15th album “Look for Stars” took the number 1 spot, on the Euro-Americana chart for the month of Aug. 2022.
Lynn has the ability to instantly convert listeners into lifetime fans. On her newest album (her 16th), “Tumble WeedyWorld”, she sings about the differences between people, which ultimately only demonstrates how we are so much the same. As always her ever-emotive voice carries each lyric with breathtaking clarity and heart-wrenching honesty. This album has been nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for Album of the year.
Lynn has been the songwriting mentor at the Banff Centre for the Performing Arts, twice in the last 8 years, and she taught songwriting at Carleton University in Ottawa Canada for 4 years. She has produced albums for 5 other singer/songwriters. She’s also given talks on “Artists and Mental Health”
Lynn is a performing artist, public speaker, teacher, producer and imperfect human with an open heart, and a good sense of humour.
