Cracks of Truth and Dark Americana with Lera Lynn in VEGA

American Lera Lynn sets music to the complexities of life when, with her evocative catalogue of songs, she hits Little VEGA on October 8.

American singer-songwriter Lera Lynn revels in a musical legend and genre-twisting universe where folk and indie rock are peppered with a strong influence from American roots music.

Last year, the musician became release-current with the album Comic Book Cowboy. A record on which the singer and songwriter embraces the complexities of life with heartfelt sensibility.

On the album, tight, percussive rock arrangements blend with pedal steel clang and atmospheric productions — in a grand sonic universe that she has fine-tuned over more than a decade of releases.

On May 21, there is then news from Lera Lynn in the form of the single “Digital You (Acoustic)” and the singer is currently also immersed in the music workroom, where she is writing on a new album.

In live regi, Lera Lynn's eminent and splinteringly honest vocals sparkle, and she has a reputation for equal parts intimate and emotionally powerful concerts that take up residence in the audience's heartthrobs.

Across both her catalogue and her career, Lera Lynn has particularly stuck to one thing: telling the truth.

Lynn has earned wide acclaim for her musical contributions to the TV series True Detective, where tracks such as “The Only Thing Worth Fighting For” and “My Least Favorite Life” blend evocatively with the series' obscure film noir aesthetic.
