Événement
FLYNN live at Light Club Lamp Shop
Singer/songwriter Myra Flynn spends her career embracing dichotomy. Half Irish and half African American, her original indie/soul/folk songs blend soulful vocals with a lyrical delivery that doesn't let one get too comfortable. As the New England Deli Magazine puts it, "Her vocal influences have as much in common with Ani Difranco and Shawn Colvin as they do with Rihanna and Jill Scott."
Flynn spent her Vermont childhood clad in leopard print and platform shoes, singing and dancing atop anything that looked remotely like a stage. These days, not much has changed. She has since shared literal stages with: Ivan Neville, Alexa Ray Joel, Slick Rick, Anais Mitchell, Gregory Douglass and Lee Scratch Perry.
Crooked Measures, her 2009 debut album, earned Flynn a solid spot in the singer/songwriter circuit as well as much deserved media recognition. She was named "Best Up-and-Coming Performer in Vermont" by Seven Days Newspaper (2010 and 2011) and "New England Artist of the Month" by The Deli Magazine New England. She signed a six-month licensing deal with CBS Records and her original song "Feels Like the Sunshine" was used on the CW television show "The Beautiful Life" (produced by Ashton Kutcher).
Flynns album, For The Record, dropped August 5, 2011. Produced by Vermont singer/songwriter Gregory Douglass, the New England Deli Magazine said the new album is crafted with a self-assured sense of commitment and what seems like another lifetime of reasons to sing.
"For The Record is an album about everyone in my life but me. It's been an inspiring exercise to try to step out of my own perspective and kind of take on the role of the characters who shape my personal world, Flynn said. As a result, I think the album is far edgier than Crooked Measures. I really dove in and tried to explore religion, sex, anger, love, and even death. I hope listeners can relate at times, but I think it's also okay if they are simply listeners. If they listen closely, they may hear the musical grownup inside of me who has finally arrived. I'm pretty proud of her."
Half Pigeon adds the third album to Flynns catalog of original music, building on the critical success of her debut Crooked Measures (2009) and sophomore release For the Record (2011). Produced by Matt Bogdanow of Plushgun, Half Pigeon was recorded at Motherbrain studio (Brooklyn) and features guest appearances by Gregory Douglass and Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio).
Flynn performs as an intimate solo act, or a duo with musical collaborator Paul Boffa as Quiet Songs, or backed by her full band. In each format, she delivers earnest original songs and obscure covers to a growing fan base.
