It’s not often you think of San Francisco when considering country music artists. A quintessential ‘Country City Girl,’ Gayle Lynn was born and raised by the banks of the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky, which in truth is where her true country roots were born. Gayle Lynn formed the Hired Hands in 2005 with Rik Elswit (Dr. Hook) on guitars, Tom Drohan (Belle Monroe and Her Brewglass Boys) on stand-up bass and Corey Losee (The Shut-ins) behind the drums as an outlet for her folksy, roots-oriented songwriting. Recalling the Hired Hands’ formation, Gayle reminisces, “I don’t know how this happened; a bunch of awesome musicians playing my tunes and making them sound so beautiful. Now, these folks are my friends, family to me. What I know for sure is when we play we have fun, feel joy and are happy to be together.” The group has a brand-new album about to hit in the Spring titled, Twirl Back Home. They are releasing the first single called, “Beautiful Soul.”
