MISTY LYN & THE BIG BEAUTIFUL

As a contingent of the Michigan folk music scene for almost two decades, Misty Lyn Bergeron has penned haunting melodies over simple arrangements that traverse the gothic, literary fringes of American roots music. Pulling from a wealth of vivid subject matter, her songs are cathartic and poetically rich works that approach sometimes difficult topics such as death, loss, heartache, and healing. Recently, there has been a noticeable shift toward love, light, and hope in her music, while still maintaining a deep connection with the things that are lost and those that are fading.

Members of the Big Beautiful include Matt Jones (drums, vocals), Ryan Gimpert (guitar), Mary Fraser (keys, vocals), Carol Catherine Gray (violin, vocals, percussion), and Timothy Monger (bass).

The band has completed three studio albums, "For the Dead" (2009), and "False Honey" (2012), and the latest "Narrows", released in January of 2023. There is also an unreleased full length album titled “Alms For Sots” which was recorded before Narrows, the rough tracks of which are available on Bandcamp only.

Misty Lyn has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with such notable acts as Kris Kristofferson, Pete Seeger, and Marshall Crenshaw.

Albums are available for purchase on iTunes and Bandcamp:
