Singer-songwriter Lynn Crossett is once again proving that it’s never too late to chase your creative calling. Traveling between Central Texas and Southern California, Crossett performs heartfelt Indie Americana music that has found an audience drawn to authenticity and story-driven songwriting. Now, after the success of his 2022 album In the Company of a Song, Crossett returns with his latest project, Autumn to August, produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Lloyd Maines.

Crossett’s previous album debuted impressively at No. 6 on the Roots Music Report Top 50 Americana Country Album Chart and stayed in the top 10 for eight consecutive weeks—a notable achievement for an artist whose musical path runs parallel to a distinguished career in law. Based in San Marcos, Texas, Crossett is a law professor at Texas State University, where his life in academia coexists with a deep devotion to songwriting.

His music resonates because it feels lived-in and real. As Elise Cady of Americana Highways describes, Crossett “pens songs about longtime friendships, realizations that come over time, and that nagging sensation that finding yourself isn’t about where you reside, or where you roam.” It’s a Texas-brewed Americana style that values substance over polish, focusing on the shared moments and quiet truths that shape a life.

In an interview with Americana Rhythm Music Magazine, Crossett explained his approach: “The artists I admire the most are really good songwriters. They may not be what we would consider talented singers…but they deliver wonderful songs.” This perspective reflects his own journey as an artist: a musician continuously improving his craft, yet always anchored by the power of storytelling through song.

His newest album, Autumn to August, released on June 20, 2025, showcases this dedication to songwriting. It blends rootsy melodies and honest lyrics that speak to change, reflection, and the passing seasons of life. Critics like Steven Doyle of Crave DFW highlight Crossett’s “authentic lyrics and genuine passion,” emphasizing that his story is proof it’s never too late to follow a parallel dream.

Looking ahead, Crossett plans a more ambitious touring schedule for 2025-2026, aiming to bring his songs to national and international audiences. As he steps into this next chapter, Autumn to August isn’t just an album—it’s a testament to a lifelong commitment to music, crafted on backroads, classrooms, and late-night writing sessions alike.
