C. Lynne Smith

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Sitting at my Gram's 1940's Cunnigham Baby Grand piano, around 2 years old, with her teaching me to play. Playing underneath the same piano while she was playing Bluebird of Happiness, Hymns, Honky Tonk and writing her own tunes. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Fleetwood Mac, Fleetwood Mac Keith Green, Keith Green Collection Patsy Cline, The Very Best of Patsy Cline Most of my early influences were from my family who pretty much all played and sang as well as church choir. I listened to way to many folks to list only three. From my Country roots to rock to folk and blues. Pat Benatar, Blondie, The Andrew Sisters Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “When” Before this song I either wrote the lyrics or created the music but in this song it happened together for the first time. These songs were born from a very difficult time in my life. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Trying out for Nashville Star before even singing out in public before that. Having all 5 songs on my first CD playing on local and international radio stations. Mostly just getting the chance to share my music with others and help in some small way. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Playing at Red Rocks and the Ryman Auditorium. Having an actual band instead of mostly playing solo. Really just getting the chance to create and share more music.
