Lynn Cannon

 

 

Lynn was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1958, and has been playing the Piano since age 12. Lynn's musical roots come from Gospel, which is where Lynn was first introduced both the Piano and Hammond B-3 organ. Lynn's Mother has always been a major musical influence on Lynn through her involvement with Gospel music and Church Choirs.

Following College, Lynn joined an R&B/Pop music band in the early 1980s, which served as his first exposure live performing. Following years of playing shows in local clubs and special events, Lynn started working on original contemporary Jazz music during the fall of 1998, which has evolved into his debut CD, Smooth Sailing.

 

Great jazz keyboardist like Jeff Lorber, Fattburger, and Greg Karukas has influenced Lynn’s style.  He provides a variety of different moods on his debut release, which will allow this CD to be enjoyed in setting from long relaxing drives to sultry nights with your special someone.

 

Currently, Lynn is employed as a Director of Project Development for a major interstate natural gas pipeline company (ANR Pipeline Company) which is headquartered in downtown Detroit, MI.  He is a father of three, and has a wonderful wife.  He is an aspiring musician, and plans to release more music projects in the near future, as well as seek out prime opportunities to perform live at music venues catering to smooth jazz listeners.
