Lynn Miles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lynn Miles (born Sweetsburg, Quebec) is an Ottawa-based singer-songwriter.

Her album, Slightly Haunted was one of the best-received folk releases of 1996, garnering praise in the New York Times and Billboard. Her music is subtle, lyrical and tender, often with more than a trace of melancholy.

Her third album, Night in a Strange Town, features a range of styles, but all incorporate strong, unique lyrics with her plaintive vocals. The tunes move from pop to ballad to rock; some reviewers felt this demonstrated a certain inconsistency but others welcomed her versatility.

She is known for her fine fingerstyle guitar which is often matched with electric guitar played by longtime collaborator Ian Lefeuvre.
