Wynn Varble
Wynn came to love country music at a very young age when he discovered his father’s collection of classic country vinyl records. He even traded his big brother’s “Grand Funk Railroad” for a copy of Jimmy Dean’s “Big Bad John,” and still has a scar to prove it! Around the age of 14, a neighbor showed Wynn a few chords on an old guitar and before long, he was playing on his own and writing his own songs.

After years of performing in honky tonks & bars, Wynn decided to make the move to Nashville. His first radio single was “Fit To Be Tied Down” by Sammy Kershaw. Since then Wynn has had many hits, including three number-ones…all three were nominated for “Song Of The Year ” by the CMA or ACM and sometimes both. Wynn’s three number-one songs are “Have You Forgotten” by Darryl Worley, “Waitin’ On A Woman” by Brad Paisley, and “I’m A Little More Country Than That” by Easton Corbin. In addition Wynn has had songs recorded by Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks, Cody Johnson, Jon Pardi, Trace Adkins, Mark Chesnutt, Kellie Pickler, Lee Ann Womack, and many others.

In 2009, Wynn received the Nashville Songwriters Association’s Songwriter of the Year Award and in 2011 made his Grand Ole Opry Debut. Besides writing nearly every day abd touring extensively, Wynn has appeared on several tv shows and was featured weekly on the Homestead Networks Joey & Rory Show for all four seasons. He is currently signed with BMG Music Publishing.
