She grew up in a Bluegrass family, learning songs and stories rooted in the history of the mountains that surround them. She found solace in putting the words of her life experience to paper, and after finding an abandoned, broken banjo, she began to create her unique sound.
Her unusual style, and raw, authentic delivery, has been recognized with awards by The Tucson Folk Festivals prestigious Stephan George Songwriting contest in 2022, and in 2023 she was named the “Early Bird pick for New Song Music in 2023.”
“Time To Be Brave,” is her third album in three years. Working with renowned producer and engineer, D.W. Fearn, and backed by incredible musicians, Corrie has created songs that should be heard and heard again.
“Hailing from Appalachia – having grown up nestled in the Shenandoah Mountains in Virginia – Corrie Lynn Green is gently whittling her way into the Americana music scene with real folk music that’s rustic, a little bit creaky, and absolutely authentically raw. She creates songs that immediately remind you of a haunting melody from long ago, windblown and turning up on your front porch on a breeze originating after traveling from far across the mountains.” - Elise Cady — Americana Highways
Corrie Lynn Green is an Appalachian folksinger from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. She puts a new spin on the Folk/Americana/Appalachia genres. Self-taught, Corrie writes about the stories and secrets of life in a small Appalachian holler town. She walks down a musical path of self-discovery, personal heartbreak, rebellion, hardship, joy, and acceptance.
Corrie has been writing these stories since she was in her teens, challenging the ideas instilled by her Evangelical upbringing and education, and bringing authenticity and grit, as if her life depended on it.
