Logan Lynn and the Gentry

The title of this post is copied and pasted directly from the subject of an email OMN just received from Logan Lynn.

After reflecting on his life and musical journey thus far, Lynn says:

Just FYI: I’ve changed my mind about what I want from my life.

One thing that is painfully clear to me and everyone who knows me in real life is that I AM MISERABLE. I have been for some time. I’m sick of being broke, mismanaged, overworked, screwed over by the folks who are supposed to be looking out for me… I’m homesick for a home that does not exist because I have been too busy to create it for myself, no other reason. I need something real in my life… because fame and money and attention is not what I want anymore. It’s time that I take control of my own happiness, something I have been dreading and avoiding for years now because of the terrible consequences and pressures attached to doing so. I am finally brave enough and there is just no stopping me. My humanity is in need of repair. These are someone else’s dreams I’m killing myself to fulfill. It is time for me to chase the light to happiness, not acceptance by the masses.

My show at Mississippi Studios on Friday Aug 20th is going to be my last one.  I hate to say EVER, but…as of now, that’s how it’s feeling.  Big, giant farewell show!!!!!!!!

Lynn has fulfilled his contract with The Dandy Warhols’ Beat The World Records and has recently finished a new record with Bryan Cecil and has “been leaking the demos all week, freeing myself of the rules and regulations that come with being a brand.”
