Lynn Morris (musician)

Lynn Morris (musician)

Lynn Morris is an American bluegrass musician.

Morris was raised in Lamesa, Texas, where she played guitar early in life. While in college she began playing bluegrass music, and began playing banjo while completing a degree in art. She played with bluegrass groups City Limits and Whetstone Run, but found many bluegrass groups resisted women members.

In 1974, she won the National Banjo Championship, the first female to do so. Assembling her own group, the Lynn Morris Band, in 1988, she began recording for Rounder Records. Over time, her bandmates have included husband Marshall Wilborn, mandolinist Jess Brock, banjo/fiddle player Ron Stewart, mandolinist David McLaughlin, banjoist Tom Adams, and fiddler Stuart Duncan. She won several further bluegrass awards in the 1990s.
