"Who starts a concert with a minute of joyful silence? A genius like Lynn O'Brien, that’s who. Lynn led the sold out crowd so comfortably, she turned it into a shared space. She has such a good feel for when to be loud, when to be soft and when to sing nothing at all... We were hooked."
​- Ann Treacy, Mostly Minnesota
