Welcome!
Blend a powerful singer, crisp acoustic guitar player and a heartfelt observer of the world and you will have singer-songwriter, Lynn Hollyfield. Layers, her new solo recording, exploded on the folk scene in 2010, receiving air play and positive reviews-nationally and internationally-marking her as a rising star of contemporary folk music.
Hailing from Staten Island, NY, Lynn picked up a guitar at age 10 and started playing, learning from great jazz artists like Ella Fitzgerald and contemporary influences like the Beatles, CSNY, Shawn Colvin and John Hiatt. She soon started writing her own songs infusing these sounds to find her own voice, mingling contemporary folk, pop, blues and jazz. The resulting blend has been called an "indie-folk-pop style which could have (her) opening up for 10,000 Maniacs or Cowboy Junkies." (Leicasterbangs, UK).
Layers, marks a turning point in her work, and brings together her wit, smoky sweetness and a thoughtful reverie to her first, solo recording. The Maryland Independent praised Layers as "a pensive, roots-driven collection which features the artist's angelic voice and fluid guitar picking." (Maryland Independent, Dickson Mercer)
"Hollyfield's songs are beautiful and contain a universal wisdom we can all identify with." (Fanrealm, Jane Woods)

Lynn is preparing to start a new recording! But first....I am thrilled to have been back in the studio as part of Carey Creed's new CD project, singing harmony. The CD is fantastic and due to be released sometime this year. Lynn also added some harmonies to Songwriter, Mike Kelly's new CD project! All these new projects reminded me to get going on my own! I'm currently in the fundraising stage and polishing up the new material! Very exciting!!!GREAT NEWS!
