Lynch Man releases “Life Ain’t Easy”

Clarence Flowers (aka Lynch Man) has been performing for the past 15 years. As lead vocalist for the Cool J’s Band, you may have heard him on the microphone while at a local bar enjoying a lazy Sunday - or weeknight - local artists perform any night of the week. You’ve heard his deep, mellow voice, and you’ve heard the reggae beats of his band, but now, it’s time to listen to something different.
With his new album, titled “Life Ain’t Easy”, Lynch Man branches out on his own. Taking the skills he learned as a young man, under the tutelage of his dear departed music teacher Ms. Heidy Matthews, he has now found his voice. A mix of love songs and funky beats make the six tracks on the album worth taking some time out to chill, listen and enjoy what was inspired by Lynch Man’s life and personal experiences.

Lynch Man was born in Belize City, and has lived off and on the island of Ambergris Caye for the past 15 years, alternating his off time in Bomba. Produced by Lynch Man himself, but recorded at Hammands Tree Studios under the direction of Barrington Castillo and Crispin Jeffries Jr., Life Ain’t Easy is now available for purchase from Clarence himself, or anywhere Cool J’s is performing. He hopes to be able to sell a few in stores soon, so keep an eye out for those wherever you’re shopping. It’s a great support to the local music scene and CD’s make great gifts any time of year!
