Grammy Award-winning country pop singer Shelby Lynne to perform at the Buskirk-Chumley

Lynne

The Buskirk-Chumley Theater will be hosting Grammy Award-winning musical artist Shelby Lynne for a concert Wednesday.

Lynne is a country and pop-rock singer-songwriter who has been performing since 1989 and has released 13 studio albums. In 2001, she won the Grammy Award for “Best New Artist.”

This show will be a part of her nationwide tour. Lynne will be promoting her 13th full-length album “I Can’t Imagine,” which was released May 5. The album is being distributed by Everso Record Label.

According to the Buskirk-Chumley’s website, her new album’s musical style is described mostly as a West Coast-inspired album, with some influences from Southern soul, Crescent City-influenced rhythm and blues and California country.

According to Lynne’s official website, she wrote most of the songs in 2012, and she said most of the inspiration for the album came from when she was strongly influenced about how her life twisted and turned at that time in her life.

“I Can’t Imagine” has a tracklist of 10 new songs. It features songs such as “Love Is Strong” and “Be in the Now,” which were all written and composed by Lynne.

Raised in Alabama, Lynne learned music was an important part of her family. She appeared on TNN’s country music show “Nashville Now” in 1987 and first started recording music when she received a recording contract with Epic Records.

Bloomington native Kasia Landrum said she likes how the Buskirk-Chumley Theater brings in inspired talent like Lynne, and that the theater does its best to supply the best entertainment for the Bloomington public.

“I think it is fantastic how this theater is able to bring in such great varieties of talent to Bloomington,” Landrum said. “Between the concerts and theatrical plays, I feel the Buskirk is able to hold its own and make an entertaining environment for everybody here. I hope I get a chance to see Lynne perform here this week. It should be a good time.”

Ticket pricing ranges from $32.50 to $37.50 and the show will be open to audience members of all ages.
