Thanks to everyone who came to our Portland record release party tonight with 101.9 KINK FM at Skype Live Studio and to my sweet friend Sheila Hamilton for being such a pure gem of a human.
I was interviewed for a review of my new record ADIEU in New Noise Magazine this month. Their take? 90s College Rock meets Musical Theater. WHICH IS EXACTLY IT.
Also, “The whole thing is very jazz hands mental health crisis, frankly” is my new favorite thing I have ever said in the press.

“Logan Lynn Brings Back 90s College Rock on ADIEU”
It’s been four years since Portland, Oregon’s Logan Lynn last put out a full-length. Despite coming out with a wildly popular cover of Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop” in 2013, his latest record is aligned much closer to 1990s college radio rock and classic theatrical rock—think more Queen and less Yes—than a contemporary party album.
“I think strong ‘90s college rock vibes are probably there by way of the strong ‘90s college rock vibes I loved and was raised on, and then intentionally nodding to on ADIEU.,” Lynn says, referring to the new LP. “But I think [collaborator and producer] Gino [Mari] and I both had pretty serious musical theater vibes happening as a constant throughout. There are moments on this record that feel really jaunty and bratty, and as we were recording them, I tried to keep this mental image of myself with a dancing cane, clicking my heels in the rain, and moving through these very serious themes with a spring in my step, front and center. The whole thing is very jazz-hands mental health crisis, frankly.”
I had a blast hanging out and talking music and mental health with my buddy Jay Mohr today in our #KeepOregonWell Wellness Zone out at iHeartMedia!
He had such amazing things to say about my new record ADIEU and we went deep around our own battles with mental health struggles, life on the other side of addiction, and more. (or Mohr, as it were)
I love this dude! I’m going to be the guest on Jay’s podcast later this year, as well…so stay tuned. 😉
