Biography
Dustin Lynch moved to Nashville in 2003 in pursuit of a career in country music. He signed to Broken Bow Record in late 2011, and released his debut single “Cowboys and Angles” on January 16th 2012. It’s a mid-tempo song that gained a lot of critical acclaim, such as Billy Dukes of Taste of Country, who gave the song four out five, praising Lynch’s “sturdy voice” saying that the chorus “Showcases his natural talent”. It debuted at number 59 on the U.S Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week of January 21st 2012. It climbed to number 2 in October. His self-titled debut album, released on August 21st 2012, made it to the top spot of the Country charts. Later that year, “She Cranks My Tractor”, which was released on November 19th 2012, also charted, as did the third single from Lynch’s self-titled album, “Wild in your Smile” which made it to number 32 on the Country chart. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three and a half stars, saying that “a lesser singer may have turned this song into a droll, cliché experience but “Wild in your Smile” pops with the help of some country-rock production”. He also said that “it sounds so easy for Lynch to sing with strength and conviction, and he’s showing the capability to navigate the subtleties that separate a good song from a great song”.
In early 2014, on March 31st, Lynch released his fourth single, “Where It’s At (Yep, Yep)”, which became his first number one on the Country Airplay chart in September 2014.
He received nominations for Single of the Year and Music Video of the Year at the American Country Awards 2012. He also received a CMT Music Award nomination for Breakthrough Video of the Year for “”Cowboys and Angels” in 2013.
Live reviews
Dustin Lynch is the pinnacle of what I imagine country music to be. His gingham shirts, ripped jeans, boots and cowboy hat paired with the old guitar slung over his shoulder immediately transports you to the south. In 2003 Lynch made the brave decision to relocate to Nashville, home of the country singer, and try his luck there. His talent and charisma caught on slowly, but after his hard work and dedication, he was signed by Broken Bow Records in 2011.
Cowboys and Angels, my favourite song of Lynch’s was a collaboration with Josh Leo and Tim Nichols, and in my opinion, they should really write more together. It went straight into the top 20, being a solid release. Lynch’s work with other artists also gave him an amount of credibility which enabled him to begin his successful touring period. What I love about Lynch, is his enthusiasm that he shares with the crowd. He connects with them, not just from on the stage, but he also jumped down and immersed himself in the audience, which was one of the most memorable moments. Hopefully he’ll be touring far and wide for the foreseeable future, I will definitely be going back to see him again!

Dustin Lynch may not have been around for as long as some of his Country contemporaries, yet in his short career he has made quite the impression on the circuit and has demonstrated his intent through a tireless touring schedule that has seen him aim to take his music to the entirety of his vast fan base.
He has had two hit albums on the US Billboard charts along with a handful of singles so this success gifts Dustin a naturally confident demeanour onstage. He knows how to work the crowd and what music they are going to react particularly well to. An enthusiastic fanbase, they stamp their feet to the upbeat 'Cowboys And Angels' whilst Lynch conducts the masses with that recognisable vocal. His proficient backing band keep the pace throughout the night and help the singer reimagine pop tracks such as 'Rock Your Body' by Justin Timberlake and 'Say Aah' by Trey Songz in his own country mannerisms. These covers go own fantastically with the audience and set Lynch up for an anthemic closer of 'Wild in Your Smile' proving he is in the Country game for the long haul.

Dustin Lynch is absolutely AMAZING!!!! His concert was by far the best concert that I have ever been to. He not only performed but he was entertaining and told us some background information about where his songs come from. After the show he hung around to sign autographs and take pictures. Which is incredible. Most artists perform and then take off unless you have paid extra money for that type of thing. I think that it is important for artists to focus on their fans and Dustin Lynch sure does that. He did not hesitate to answer questions and never seemed frustrated by all those people who hung around to ask for pictures and autographs. He also was very grateful that we all came out to see him and that we helped his song "Where It's At (Yep Yep)" reach number one. He kept thanking all of us for coming and that means a lot to know that some artists haven't let the fame go to their heads. I will most definitely be seeing him again and telling everyone I know they should take the opportunity to see him if they haven't.

Dustin Lynch put on a great show but the coordination of the venue was a nightmare. I heard Lynchburg was in charge of venue set up and planning. They should not set up at this venue ever again! There was a long line to get into the gates at 6 something when we arrived. My boyfriend and I ate dinner and the line was rapped around the building at 730 pm. If I remember correctly, I don't think the line died down until 9pm. They only had 3 or 4 people checking tickets in and no security! I have never seen a concert like this. There was only two tents for beer, no liquor, no food, no water or soda options even, and they ran out of cold beer. The sound system was also poorly controlled.

It was the 2nd time seeing him perform, it never gets old he puts on a awesome show. He really gets involved with his audience my daughter n neice will never forget this concert and meeting him, he is their favorite artist. The venue itself was very nice it was the first time being there and I defiantly would go back a nice clean atmosphere, security was awesome about keeping people out of the isles and in the seating where they belonged.
Thanks

We had a blast but the rest of the crowd was pretty boring. No one would stand up and get into the show with us but Dustin was awesome and I got the first high five of the night and the last fist bump. The trip was well worth it
