Today’s guest reminds me to take my time. Please give a Performance Anxiety welcome to singer/songwriter, Lynn Drury. She has made New Orleans her home but she grew up in what sounds like every little girl’s dream, raising and training quarter horses for the rodeo circuit in Mississippi. And she always loved music but never actually considered pursuing it professionally. That is until she was walking around New Orleans and decided she didn’t want to sell computers anymore; she wanted to play guitar and sing! So that’s what she did!
She took lessons, played wherever she could; sometimes gigging until four in the morning and then getting up to be at work by eight. Lynn and I discover we have some things in common, like insurance. And she tells a story she’s never told before about the horrors of studying abroad. Nothing good comes from insurance sales. And she has spawned an idea I may have to implement from now on: a test for each guest at the end of each episode! That way each show will have a bit of actual performance anxiety to it!
Lynn has changed a few things over the years besides her profession. She’s changed her writing process, her location after Katrina (but that was temporary), and styles of music over the course of ten albums. Her latest is High Tide and is out through Nolamericana music. Go pick it up wherever you get music. Check out lynndrury.com. Also check out her socials @lynndruryrocks for up to date info.
