I have been writing songs for a new record in Portland all this year and have been releasing short clips of all of them on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Google+ as I go.

Here they are at the exact moments in which they were each born, imperfections and all. 2016: MY MOVIE STAR, MY SORROW.

More to come…

Thanks again to Portland Radio Project, Vortex Music Magazine and PDX Spotlight for having us on Sounds of PDX this week! Listen HERE or keep reading below.

From Portland Radio Project:

Recording artist Logan Lynn and producer Gino Mari dropped by the show this week to talk about their influences, songwriting process and new album. A large part of the PDX Spotlight playlist was from Logan’s latest release titled Adieu, but we also listened to Gino and Logan’s influences including Mitski, Whitey, Sam Phillips, The Dandy Warhols, and more. We talked about their production process, touring together, and the maturation of artists. Our listeners heard Logan open up about his mental health and history with addiction. Logan also shared a lot of great information about Keep Oregon Well and his approach to mental health self care. A common theme through the night was the importance of being congruent with your art and being honest with yourself.

A huge thank you to Logan Lynn and Gino Mari for spending the evening with me and sharing their stories! Please enjoy the podcast!

Our episode of PDX Spotlight premieres this Sunday and then plays for the next month on Comcast Cable TV and Xfinity Digital in Portland.

For those of you living outside of Portland (or inside Portland with no cable) you can watch the full show online, too. Go to www.PDXspotlight.com to make it happen, or click play below:
