 Lynn Gann is a Nashville native, born in the shadow of Music Row.  As a child, he was exposed to country music through his father’s record collection (Haggard, Dolly, Jimmy Rogers) and through any musical programming that could be found on network TV (“Hee Haw”, “The Glen Campbell Show”, “The Johnny Cash Show”, “American Bandstand”, “Midnight Special”).  At the age of 13, Gann began playing guitar and at 15 joined his first band, on bass guitar.  During his high school years, he continued live band performance, and added disc jockey work on local AM-1,000 watt WEEN (Lafayette, TN).  After high school, Gann enrolled at Middle Tennessee State University, receiving his B.S. in Recording Industry Management.

The 21-year music row publishing veteran, began his career at Tom Collins Music, and later churned out hits at MCA Music Publishing and Zomba Enterprises.  Since July, 2003, Gann has served as Vice President/Partner of Full Circle Music Publishing, LLC.  Best known Full Circle hits include “When I Get Where I’m Going” (Brad Paisley), “Homewrecker” Gretchen Wilson & “Stealing Cinderella” (Chuck Wicks).  Upcoming Full Circle releases include Brad Paisley, Craig Morgan and Kenny Chesney.  The current writer roster at Full Circle includes Dave Turnbull, Walt Aldridge and Bob Regan.
