Nathan Blake

About Me

"As free flowing as the Ohio River, and as uniquely Paducahan as the Irvin Cobb, Lynn's sense of place pervades every folk ballad tune and his story-telling lyrics." Adum Shull, The Paducah Sun

Nathan Blake Lynn is a writer of historical fiction.

Lynn's first studio album, "Two Catfish and a Bluegill," contains 17 original songs full of history, comedy, and plenty of love. His second album, "Who Said the Worlds Fair," will be released late this summer, and highlights 10 orginal songs.

"Two Catfish and a Bluegill"

"Nathan Blake Lynns ill skills in gravel road break dancing and funky fresh sharpie tat's leaves crowds screaming for more." The Whistler Magazine.

Long time friend Wes Kaintuck credits Lynn with being, "the sorghum, on a cool October morning."
