Come On Up To The House

My wooden chair seats me fine and comfortably
And my guitar fits me nicely like a glove
But they don't suit me like you do
No, they don't suit me like you do

You quench my thirst better than a glass of the finest wine
And it's the worst when you leave and I have to say goodbye
'Cause nothing suits me like you do
No, nothing suits me like you do

So stay here with me
Stay here with me awhile
Stay here with me
And let the time slip by, by, by, by, by

When your arms are outstretched like a maple tree
They take me in and I know that I could never leave
Oh, 'cause nothing suits me like you do
No, nothing suits me like you do

Like You Do

Don't know if I chose this place
Or if it chose me
But I know that it's somewhere
That I'd like to be
If you'll stick around
If you'll be one of the few
Cause I can't do this without you
No I can't do this without you

I fell into this job just like a swimming pool
Not quite sure what I got myself into
All I know is that it is close to you
But I can't do this without you
No I can't do this without you

// Without you
Oh oh oh
Without you
Oh oh oh
Without you //

So I close my eyes and I dream of what will be
If you find yourself staying here with me
We will spread our wings and fly out into the blue
But I can't do it without you
No I can't do this without you

Without You

I try new things all the time
So I’m bound to make mistakes sometimes
But you won’t have it if I can’t make it rhyme
Well I don’t care, I love to color outside the lines
Yeah, I love to color outside the lines

Now I can appreciate a little structure, it’s true
Like the grass being green and the sky being blue
But don’t tell me that you see in all the right hues
Because sometimes you gotta color outside the lines
Yeah, sometimes you gotta color outside the lines

Where would we be if we all thought the same
Talked the same talk, were named the same names
It’s no place for me, I would catch the next train
To some place where they colored outside the lines
Take me to some place where they color outside the lines

Color Outside the Lines

Sun setting over the open sea
Flowers in full bloom
And my piano is beckoning a song
But all I can think to do is

// Ride home to you
Ride home to you //

The rubber on these tires is worn
From driving all around
Getting everywhere but where I want to be
In your arms right now so I'll

Ride Home

I’m not gonna give up
Not gonna give up this time
No, this time I’m gonna get it right

Only got three strikes
In the good ol’ ballgame
Thank God, not the game of life

// While winter snow gives way to spring
And rain, it washes pavement clean
All I need is butterfly wings //

So, I’m gonna take every
Take every chance that I can get
And go out, make the best of it

I’m gonna give every
Give every chance that I can give
‘Cause I know we all need this

Butterfly Wings

New Day Rises

There’s something reassuring about Andrea Lynn’s strong, hopeful vocal and steady, guitar driven instrumentation. Her music is strong without being aggressive, emphatic without being loud, emotional without being weepy.

Andrea’s songwriting style has been predominantly influenced by American folk, rock, and bluegrass music, reflected in her strumming patterns and melodies. Her lyrics are both fun and insightful, painting honest pictures of “life and love and everything else.”

Andrea cites her musical influences as ranging from Van Morrison, Nickel Creek and The Indigo Girls, to name a few. Her music has a similar sound to Ingrid Michaelson, Colbie Caillat, and Sara Bareilles.

In the spring of 2005, Andrea moved to the island of Martha’s Vineyard to focus on her music at an invitation-only artists’ colony for musicians and entertainment industry executives. Here, Andrea spent time writing and recording her debut album, “Butterfly Wings,” released by 450 Records in April 2005.

Andrea’s sophomore album, “Run To Me,” released in December 2006, stripped down to strings and vocals while infused with the talent of Blue Murphy on the acoustic upright bass, offers a raw taste of this young artist’s budding style. Two songs from this CD were featured in the PBS documentary "Switchback: Trigger Your Senses." Switchback is being utilized as an avalanche safety video by a number of organizations including Colorado State University, Prescott College, and Summit County, CO Fire Department and Sheriff's Office. It aired on Rocky Mountain PBS on February 2, 2011 and has screened in multiple theaters across Colorado.

Andrea’s third, and most recent album, “The Mountains and The Sea,” released in December 2010, is one of her most musically interesting, collaborative and multi-layered albums yet. From the four-part harmonies (w/ Sondra Eisenstat of Teacup Gorilla, Bonnie Gregory of The Horse Latitudes, and Jennifer Thompson) in “Missing You” that give a depth and richness to the vocals, to Rachel Zylstra’s enchanting piano melody line in “Like You Do,” to Chuck Morris’ (of Lotus) percussive touches on “Color Outside the Lines” and “Ride Home”: these parts all add to the story she is telling, fleshing it out, bringing out elements that are only implied or partially stated in the lyrics.

"...it is the powerful but gentle tone of Lynn's voice that captures most of the attention, as elements of influences like Indigo Girls can be clearly heard." 
-Denver Westword

All of Andrea’s CDs can be found on iTunes, CDBaby, and her website's Store page.
