LynnMarie & E3

BIO LynnMarie & E3 What happens when a five-time Grammy nominated artist decides that after thirty-years of making music, it’s time to squeeze out a new style? You get LynnMarie & E3! Feel-good music that entertains and inspires. Nashville artist, accordion player, and five-time Grammy nominee LynnMarie has joined forces with Eddie Rodick III to create Nashville’s newest group. Fusing the music of their Eastern European roots with Americana, Rock, Country and whatever else inspires them, LynnMarie & E3 brings forth new music from two very seasoned performers. Dubbed “The Dixie Chick of the Accordion” by Jay Leno, the squeeze box player and vocalist, and Polka Hall of Fame inductee, and the first female artist ever to win a Grammy nod for Best Polka Album, has now, partnered with Award-winning musician (and husband) Eddie Rodick III, to create LynnMarie & E3. Together, along with David Vaughan on drums and Will Mandell on bass guitar, this fresh new group is inspiring audiences with their quick banter and undeniable talent. Throughout her successful career spanning three decades, LynnMarie has gained some great praise. Austin O’Connor of The Sun, a newspaper based in Lowell, Massachusetts where LynnMarie played the National Folk Festival, called her “undoubtedly the sexiest player ever to strap on an accordion!” Rolling Stone chimed in: “LynnMarie is one soulful accordion diva.” Eddie Rodick III has been playing music since he was four years old, becoming a child prodigy on the drums, and then embracing every instrument he could get his hands on. He became one of the most sought-after regional musicians, before moving to Nashville in 2018. Together with their band they have averaged 50-100 dates a year, performed at the Bethlehem Music Festival, the CMA Fan Fair and South By Southwest. They have played every major Oktoberfest across the county and toured overseas, performing at the Country & Trucker Festival in Interlaken Switzerland, in Slovenia and The Netherlands. In the three decades that she has been making music, LynnMarie has recorded 13 strong, independent and under the radar albums, consisting mostly of folk music, with a bit of Cajun, Tex-Mex and country sprinkled in. But now, she is turning the tables on her own talent. “My ethnic music is what got me to the party” she laughs, “but there’s always been a plethora of other songs and musical styles inside of me that have wanted to come out, which is why we’ve created LynnMarie & E3. LynnMarie has written and collaborated with such greats as Vince Gill, Chet Atkins, Dobie Gray, Hal Ketchum, Riders in the Sky, Tom Douglas (The House That Built Me) and Graham Russell of Air Supply. Many of those songs are now going to be able to be heard thanks to LynnMarie & E3. For more information please contact Eddie Rodick III at erodick3@gmail.com or 440-413-8023. www.lynnmarie.net
