Dustin Charles Lynch (born May 14, 1985) is an American country music singer and songwriter, signed to Broken Bow Records.

Musical career

Lynch moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2003 to pursue a career in country music.[3]

He signed to Broken Bow Records in late 2011, and he released his debut single, "Cowboys and Angels" in January 2012. Lynch wrote the song with Josh Leo and Tim Nichols.[4] That same month, Country Weekly began streaming his songs on its website.[5] The album's second single, "She Cranks My Tractor", became his second top 20 hit in early 2013. It was followed by "Wild in Your Smile", which made the top 30.

Lynch also co-wrote James Wesley's 2013 single "Thank a Farmer".[6]

In early 2014, Lynch released his fourth single, "Where It's At (Yep, Yep)". It became his first number one single on the Country Airplay chart in September 2014. The album's second single, "Hell of a Night", was released to country radio on November 3, 2014. The album's third single, "Mind Reader", was released to country radio on September 28, 2015.
