Theodore Gerard “Ted” Lynch
Ted is the fourth child born to Elizabeth and the late Laurence Lynch. Ted grew up in what he calls the back roads of Nelson Miramichi, NB in Craigville. His mother’s family had a huge impact on him musically as that whole side of the family were known as singers in their hometown. After graduating from High School at an academic level Ted graduated from secondary studies of communication Arts at NBCC Woodstock majoring in Photography, he went on to be self-employed in photography and also operated a professional carpet cleaning business. Looking to make an impact in his community, Ted left the life of business and entered youth ministry working with up to a hundred children and youth each week. Many of his songs were inspired during this period. Ted began managing CJFY FM in Blackville, NB., a Christian radio station in 2006 till 2012. Ted now travels with his music and shares his life changing story. He also continues to share at the local detox and prison ministry with Christian Fellowship Prison Ministries.
Lynch began playing guitar at the age of ten after receiving his first guitar as a Christmas present from his parents. Later he began performing in talent shows, community fund raisers, high school events and continues to perform in his home town of Miramichi New Brunswick during many functions. He has performed in his home church as a song leader for over fifteen years which has strengthened his vocals and guitar abilities. His music has touched lives in Canada from the Yukon, Toronto and the throughout the Atlantic Provinces. He has also toured throughout the east coast of the USA and over to Texas and back. Ted presently resides in Blackville, New Brunswick, Canada.
Ted’s first album entitled “Invade My Soul” is a collection of ten original songs and was released in April of 2010. His second album “His Boots” was recorded in 2012. Both albums were produced by BJ McKelvie and recorded at OMNIsound Studio in Nashville. Drummer of the albums was Greg Morrow (Deanna Carter, Dixie Chicks, Leann Rimes), bass player Mike Brignardello (John Michael Montgomery, Faith Hill, Trace Adkins, Tim McGraw, Travis Tritt), Michael Rojas on keyboards (George Jones, Colin Raye, Hank Williams Jr., Reba McEntire), guitar, banjo and mandolin was John D. Willis (Alabama, Steve Earle, Billy Ray Cyrus), and lead guitar was J.T. Corenflos (Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney, Sara Evans, Martina McBride, Rascal Flatts, Brooks and Dunn). The album was crafted by the professional hands and ears of Nashville sound engineer Dave Buchanan.
The first hit single off the album “Invade My Soul” was “Clean and Sober” which is a testimony of freedom Lynch has experienced from his battle with alcohol in his early years. The song charted #3 on June 14th, 2010 on the Inspirational country chart in Texas and 59 with HMG Nashville charting. His second single “I Don’t Want To Miss” charted #1 on Sept. 22nd, 2010 with CMW and #25 with HMG Nashville charting. These two songs did exceptionally well considering they hit the airwaves without any promotion behind them. Ted’s last Christian Country release “Chevy Truck” reached #11 with HMG Nashville.
Ted’s second album “His Boots” was released in May 2012 and was also produced by BJ McKelvie and recorded in Nashville. After Ted’s first tour with the new album to NFLD, he struggled with vocal issues which caused him to cancel all his concert dates including a Television broadcast on 100 Huntley Street. Ted has since made a comeback with his first tour to the Southern US in 2014, nearly two years after losing his voice. He had one tour in 2015 in Ontario and another tour in the USA 2016 and 2017.
Ted’s third album is in the making with a final Nashville session coming up very soon. He’s hoping to have this album ready to go with his upcoming tour in Ontario for 2018.
