Lynn Gentry

Lynn Gentry is a songwriter and poet whose work emerges from the belief that creativity is a vital, shared human experience. His journey began in 2009 at the iconic corner of Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco, where a borrowed typewriter and a sign that read "Pick a Subject & Price, Get a Poem" launched a profound artistic practice and helped inspire a worldwide wave of public poetry. As a musician, Gentry channels this same spirit of raw, personal connection. His songwriting, which he describes as "electric freak folk," is an ethereal and modal exploration that breaks from conventional resolution, inviting listeners into a more contemplative space. His dedication to his craft and community led him to curate and produce his own shows and festivals, fostering artistic circles. His highly anticipated debut solo album, The Wake, is slated for release in January 2026 on his music label, Bourgeois Blues.
