About


Gwendolyn Countryman is a musician/songwriter based in Iowa City, IA. Her songs are stories of love, heartbreak, longing, family, friendship and redemption.  Some are set in the cool, majestic mountains of New Mexico, others drip with the heat and emotion of a summer storm in Iowa.  Still others tell of the long road in between. Dutch Lace is her first Album. 




Her musical inspiration includes: Johnny Cash, The Everly Brothers, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Carol King, The Eagles, Emmy Lou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Ray Charles, Chuck Pyle, Willie Nelson, Iris Dement, John Prine, Greg Brown, Van Morrison, Norah Jones, and Scott Cochran.
