About

Hunter Flynn is a native to the Bluegrass state, born and raised in Pulaski County, Kentucky. He's a self-taught musician whose first public performance came in early 2022. Since then, the singer/songwriter has gained national recognition as one of Appalachia's most promising young artists. In an area that has no shortage of talent, it is Flynn's soul-shattering vocal ability and authentic songwriting that makes him unique and leaves the listener with no doubt to whether or not he believes the songs he is singing. Hunter has performed at major venues and festivals across the U.S. and Europe and was named 2025 Artist in Residence at the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame. The sky is the limit for this young artist who refers to his style of music as "Appalachian Soul."

It's elements of country, folk, soul, gospel and southern rock sounds with raw and reflective lyrics rooted in the landscapes, stories, and emotional honesty of Appalachia. Some people call it "a genre-defying sound" Hunter just calls it Appalachian Soul Music.

Hunter started his journey into art as a visual artist, after quitting his job and moving into his grandmother's basement declaring "he would make art work, or he would starve trying" he began creating striking hyperrealism charcoal drawings, creating art from charcoal and paper. His work has been widely recognized, including being named Featured Visual Artist at the 2023 Master Musicians Festival. Flynn seamlessly integrates his visual art into his music career, creating much of the artwork for his singles and releases -- including signature motifs like the Appalachian astronaut. For Flynn, music and visual art are deeply connected expressions of his Appalachian roots and personal journey.
