Join us on this episode of Songwriter Connection as we welcome the incredibly talented Briana Lyn—a singer, songwriter, performer, teacher, and mentor whose passion for music shines through everything she does. With studios in both Los Angeles and Minneapolis, Briana has helped countless artists discover and develop their unique voices.
With a low, lived-in alto that carries heartbreak, anger, restraint, and bite, Elaina brings an honest edge to every song. Born in Cincinnati and raised in Omaha, she found her voice through BluesEd, an audition-only youth program created by the Blues Society of Omaha. She performed dozens of shows each year, won the program’s 2019 competition, and traveled to Memphis to perform at B.B. King’s during the International Blues Challenge. That early blues influence continues to shape her sound, giving her country and Americana a distinctive grit and emotional weight.
On this special episode of Songwriter Connection, host Dave Lenahan takes the show out from around the dining room table and onto the stage at one of Nashville’s hottest music hangouts, The Local, for an unforgettable night of songs, stories, and songwriting with Grammy Award-winning songwriter Don Henry.
