Details:
This born & bred Texan grew up in a small town near Wacoâ¦Flat, TX to be exact. His young dreams consisted of two things: Playing for the Dallas Cowboys & Music. Luckily for the industry, music took the lead. âLooking back, Iâve realized music was always a big part of my life. But it wasnât until the first time I stepped on stage that I realized it was what I was supposed to do.â

In Texas he opened for such Country Music legends as Chris LeDoux, Gene Watson, Gary Stewart & Joe Diffie; and in 1999 made the move to Nashville in an old blue van in hopes of following his dreams of being another great Texas artist. He began like most new Nashville musicians, by playing cover tunes on Broadway, but soon realized that to be taken seriously he needed to write more. The more he wrote and performed, the more passionate he became about songwriting and becoming a part of the music industry.

Lonny has a sound you could say comes from a blend that is not of Nashville standards. When you hear Lonny you may think of Steve Earle, Merle Haggard, Jack Ingram, Dwight Yoakam, Pat Green, old trucks & whiskeyâ¦.and of course TEXAS. âGrowing up I listened to a wide variety of music. Iâve jammed to everything from Charlie Rich to Guns âN- Roses!â His influences give him an edge to his sound that you donât hear in a lot of music today.

Lonnyâs latest release, âChanging Lanesâ has 11 cuts on it, 10 of which were written or co-written by him and definitely have a Merle/Earle feel but with an original âsoundâ. One minute youâre listening to an introspective ballad like âSame âOl Meâ and the next youâre speeding down lifeâs highway in the title cut âChanging Lanesâ. âMy philosophy on songwriting is I should take the listener from point A to point B.â That philosophy has evolved Lonny into not only a great songwriter & performer, but also a great storyteller.
