Dustin Lynch is a country singer-songwriter from Tullahoma, Tennessee. He made the 90 mile move to Nashville in 2003 to attend David Lipscomb University, and rented an apartment near the Bluebird Cafe, a popular music venue for songwriters. Lynch regularly attended the Bluebird, gradually began writing and playing shows himself in the Music City as well as the neighboring college circuit. He eventually signed a publishing deal with Super 98/The Song Factory in 2010 and a record deal with Broken Bow Records the following year. His debut single, "Cowboys and Angels", was released January 17, 2012. Lynch's musical career began to take off after he auditioned for the Bluebird Cafe's open-mic night. He impressed host Barbara Cloyd so much that she chased him into the parking lot and offered to help him get some footing in the community. Weeks later, Lynch got a call from Pete Hartung – manager for singer-songwriter Justin Moore – who had found Dustin’s MySpace page and wanted to get involved. Within weeks, Lynch had a publishing deal, and he wrote a staggering 200+ songs in less than two years. He developed his own style of combining his fascination with words and melodies with concert skills he developed in high-school bands and playing the southeastern club circuit. Dustin Lynch's particular brand of country music has earned him a strong following and set him on the path to becoming one of country's artists to watch. His debut single, "Cowboys and Angels", peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. He has released three additional albums - Where It's At (2014), Current Mood (2017), and Tullahoma (2019), with the latter two reaching the top 10 of the US Billboard Country Albums chart.
