LYNN GEYER

With God, nothing is impossible. It was on August 13, 1989 that Lynn Geyer saw with her own eyes the hand of God lift the spirit of her dad from his body. The miraculous moment revealed God’s absolute presence and all the years of rebellion and agnosticism instantly disappeared. She began attending church where music filled the air and was different from anything she’d heard in the church of her childhood, even though this was the church of her childhood, St. Mary’s in Mt. Vernon, New York. Her "new" church was a charismatic contemporary celebration with the entire congregation participating and singing along. Inspired and always moved by this "new" music, she joined the choir, seeing God touch and change people through His melodies. Evangelizing through the music of the Charismatic Renewal as well as the rich traditional hymns of the "old" church became a way of life and over time developed into music ministry.

Highlights along the way include being a member of the original music planning committee for "Young New York ‘94" under the direction of the late, great John Michael Caprio, and performing during this two day outdoor youth festival attended by 20,000 teens. An invitation to sing in Atlanta at Christ the King Cathedral for Life Teen offered a double blessing: to minister to teens and to enjoy the summer Olympics! She was among the group to sing at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City for Cardinal John O’Connor’s 50th Anniversary of Ordination. For three years she traveled to Cape May, New Jersey to sing for the young recruits of the U.S. Coast Guard Training Center. In January of 1998, she was on "Good Day, N.Y." representing the New York State Right to Life Committee in a round table discussion concerning the effect of Roe vs. Wade on society. She performed in concert sponsored by international broadcasting company, Radio Maria, hosting Marian Devotee, Christina Plancher, at Fordham University. The greatest of all these gifts remains her selection as a member of the mass choir assembled for the Liturgy celebrated by Pope John Paul II on the Great Lawn in Central Park, New York City.

In July 2000, Lynn performed at David 2000, an annual youth festival in Spain and also was part of an international group of musicians and event planners discussing contemporary music in the church today. These discussions took place over four days via simultaneous translations, were documented and sent by the Bishop of Soria to the Vatican for review. In August 2000, Lynn was included as a performer during World Youth Day in Rome, singing as part of Word Entertainment’s "American Stage" set up in the Piazza De Popola. She was nominated as "Artist of the Year" by the United Catholic Music and Video Association in the first annual Unity Awards.

Lynn was the music director for Life Teen at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Scarsdale, New York, for two years and continues as a parishioner of St. Mary’s in Mt. Vernon. For the last 6 years Lynn has been a professional member of the Gospel Music Association and BMI, holds memberships with the Christian Country Music Association (CCMA), and the United Catholic Music and Video Association (UCMVA). Her ministry, ColorBlindMusic handles public relations and promotions for various Catholic artists and programs.

She is the Director of Public Relations for the Catholic Association of Musicians (CAM), founded by John Michael Talbot for the purpose of providing spiritual, artistic and economic guidance to contemporary Catholic musicians. In this capacity, Lynn coordinates activities of CAM regions throughout the USA, and works with other artists coordinating and participating in conferences across the country, to share the Good News through music.
