Lynn Easterly – Bio Lynn Easterly – Bio AWARD WINNING COUNTRY MUSIC ENTERTAINER Lynn Easterly has already been called one of the hottest female country singers and entertainers to ever come out of the state of Florida, and is well known for her high energy performance and ability to bring a crowd to it's feet. She has been described as the "real deal" An acclaimed country singer and entertainer, Lynn Easterly has won several independent music awards including, "Independent Music Artist Of The Year", "Female Vocalist Of The Year," and "Entertainer Of The Year." Known for her upbeat style and outlook, she has enjoyed phenomenal success both internationally and stateside throughout the span of her career. Lynn Easterly was born one of six children in the small town of Dayton Ohio. She grew up on country music along with her mother who was also a country music entertainer. Her mother shared the stage with such greats as Red Sovine, Bobby Helms and Michael Twitty. Lynn is also the great granddaughter of Italy’s opera singer Cecelia Boni. She started singing at the young age of three, and by age ten already had her own band. Lynn then went on to win first place in one of Loretta Lynn’s talent search competitions where she caught the eyes and ears of Jess McEntire who then tucked Lynn under his wing guiding her to her first album release known as “ The Tough Go Shopping “ . She has also donated some of her time along with Jess McEntire, Loretta Lynn and Danny Shirley of Confederate railroad to Project Route 66 Billboard Association, promoting tourism for the entire road using the coined phrase Take a Trip on Route 66. Be on the lookout once again as Lynn will be making some waves with her brand new album release "She Won The Loser", coming January 2018. .

    Founder From e President... Bill Wiley Ocers Marvin O’Dell, Someone told me recently that they don’t join or get President involved with the IWMA because the same people win the Jerry Hall, Executive V.P. Robert Fee, awards year aer year. It’s not the rst time I’ve heard this, V.P. General Counsel but I thought this time I would check to see if that is, in fact, Yvonne Mayer, Secretary true. Here’s what I discovered (you can see these same results Diana Raven, Treasurer at the IWMA Web site): Executive Director In the Male Performer of the Year category, there have Marsha Short been six dierent winners in the last ten years; the female Board of Directors counterpart in that category has had six dierent winners in John Bergstrom Richard Dollarhide Marvin O’Dell the last eleven years. Ok, there’s a little room to gripe there, Robert Fee but not much. It’s certainly not the same winner every year. Juni Fisher IWMA President Belinda Gail In the Songwriter of the Year category there have been Jerry Hall eight dierent winners in the last ten years, and the Song of the Year category shows 14 Judy James Robert Lorbeer dierent winners in the last 16 years. Yvonne Mayer e Traditional Duo/Group category has had 10 dierent winners in the last eleven years. Marvin O’Dell Theresa O’Dell Western Swing Album of the Year?

  • Loretta Lynn to Receive Kris Kristofferson Songwriting Award
    For Immediate Release Wendsday, Jan 23, 2019 Loretta Lynn to Receive Kris Kristofferson Songwriting Award Nashville Songwriters Association International to present Lifetime Achievement honor to country legend in September Nashville, TN (January 23, 2019) Country Music Hall of Fame member Loretta Lynn, who will also be celebrated by peers and artists she influenced at an all-star birthday concert this year, will receive the Kris Kristofferson Lifetime Achievement Award, the night’s biggest honor. ​ ​ “This is such a special honor to me because writing the songs means more to me than singing them. I love it because it’s a way I can speak from the heart and share the ups and downs of my own life with others. My soul is most alive when I’m writing a new song. I can’t thank y’all enough.”, says Lynn of her upcoming honor. ​ Lynn turns 87 in April and will celebrate the occasion with a sold out all-star tribute concert on ​ ​ April 1st. The lineup features performers from virtually every recent era of country music and beyond, including George Strait, Margo Price, Jack White, Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks, and Miranda Lambert. Tickets for that event are on sale now. Lynn is one of the most awarded musicians of all time. She has been inducted into more music Halls of Fame than any female recording artist, including The Country Music Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and was the first woman to be named the Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year in 1972. Lynn received Kennedy Center Honors in 2003 and a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013.
