Singer and songwriter, Lynn Geyer, presents uplifting music for use in Christian settings. Lynn develops youth programs, such as her nationally recognized “Journey to Forgiveness”, an examination of conscience which includes a full length 17 song CD.
Much of her ministry is devoted to the power of prayer in forgiveness and healing. Her easy alto lends itself to quiet services using traditional or contemporary music as well as charismatic prayer meetings.
Lynn has recorded three albums. “Music of the Light”, her first solo project, was released in January, 2001. The title track received a Unity Award from UCMVA as Praise and Worship Song of the Year 2001. She has performed in countless churches on the east coast, as well as in conferences throughout the US, Canada, Spain, Italy, Australia, Germany and Brazil.
Her latest project is “Christmas All Year Through”, a collection of Advent and Christmas songs. She’s the President of CAM, the Catholic Association of Music, founded by John Michael Talbot providing guidance for Catholic musicians in public ministry. Lynn also produces an annual concert in NY at Carnegie Hall, Merry Christmas New York City to celebrate the real reason for the season. She's looking ahead to producing Hallelujah, New York City for the same reason regarding the disprespect people have for Easter

Why this name?
I don't believe in discrimination of any type and this particular behavior has been with me since I was a teenager in the mid 60s. My black friends from those years often said one of the things they liked best about me was that I was "colorblind". I always took that as a great compliment. I don't know why, so many many years later when I was trying to come up with a name for my ministry "colorblind" came to mind and seemed a good choice.
Do you play live?
Mostly conferences around the US and also in parts of Europe. The best moment was in Central Park, being one of 200 voices singing as Pope John Paul II celebrated mass for about 400,000 people who had come from everywhere.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet makes everything more accesible. I think it is a real boon for the independent artist and a huge problem for the major record companies. Welcome digital downloading and buhbye CDs.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No. And I have no delusions about anyone ever asking me either. I'm content with my ministry as is...writing my songs and controlling what I do. Besides I'm WAY too old for that type of career stress. There are a great many distribution opportunities where you sell your product and get your fair share.
Your influences?
I was raised on Motown and the oldies of my day were the earliest songs of rock and roll. Christmas music has long been a favorite genre for me and I've finally recorded a Christmas album.
Favorite spot?
New York City
Equipment used:
Peavey, Shure
Anything else...?
The idealistic flower child who still lives in my soul continues to pray for peace in the world and specifically for the safety of our troops and the innocents in Iraq.
