SUMMER 2022 – A short BIO

ADLER & HEARNE | The Song Farmers… a spirited blend of original ‘Texas Folk.’

From Texas' upper east side near the arts hamlet of Winnsboro, award-winning singer-songwriters Lynn Adler and Lindy Hearne connect with audiences coast to coast. Honored to be selected by the Texas Commission on the Arts to serve on the state’s official Texas Touring Roster, the husband-wife duo enjoys the title of Official Texas Touring Artists for the August 2022-2024 touring season. (Adler & Hearne have served on the roster since 2014.) Their newest CD The Ties That Bind Us (released August 2022) is their first on the Howlin' Dog Records label, produced by Don Richmond and featuring special guests Eliza Gilkyson, Bill Hearne, Michael Hearne and Jimmy Stadler. Their music is a spirited blend of original Texas Folk with hints of blues, jazz, country and bluegrass. With 13+ recordings and decades of touring between them, their repertoire is playful, poignant and poetic – including sparky love ballads, historically based tributes, quirky story songs, and anthems of justice and peace. Raised by musical families and nurtured by music ensembles through college, the two met in Nashville, and now pay it forward together in performances from listening-room venues, festivals and community events to churches, libraries, schools and house concerts. Lynn co-wrote the theme song for the hit PBS children’s TV series Wishbone. Her diverse writing background brings added experience to the duo's workshops and presentations. Lindy sang in the famed Texas Boys Choir as a child, and for several years he and his band were Roy Clark’s backup group performing with Roy from Las Vegas to Hee Haw to Carnegie Hall. Adler & Hearne’s songs share a common bond with the human experience of us all. The vibe of their shows is a thoughtful balance: equal parts campfire song circle and concert hall polish, punctuated with humor and spirit.
