LYNAM frontman Jacob Bunton has won an Emmy Award for his songwriting work in television. The television production Emmy awards took place this past Saturday, June 18th in Atlanta, GA. “I’m blown away” states Bunton. “This is a huge honor and I am very grateful to have been a part of such an amazing team along with Jason Elgin and Michael and Karen Swann.”

From Birmingham, AL, Lynam consists of Jacob Bunton (lead vocals, guitar), David Lynam (drums, vocals), and Mark Dzier (bass, vocals). Lynam released three albums independently from 2002 - 2004 (White Trash Superstar, Bling! Bling!, and Life In Reverse). In 2005, Lynam signed a deal with DRT/Universal Records and released the critically acclaimed album Slave To The Machine in 2006. This album peaked at #21 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart and #19 on the Heat-Seekers chart. The first single ‘Tanis’ went to #1 on both the active rock independent and main-stream rock independent charts. The band’s last album Tragic City Symphony (Megaforce/Mascot Records) featured the radio singles ‘Save My Soul’, ‘Lindsay Says’, and ‘Porn Star’. All three singles reached the top ten on the active rock independent chart with ‘Save My Soul’ reaching top five. To date, the band has had over 10 million in audience at commercial radio.

Lynam was just announced as part of the 2011 Shiprocked cruise November 14th - 19th. The cruise features BUCKCHERRY, SEVENDUST, HINDER, IN THIS MOMENT, and others. The third annual voyage departs Fort Lauderdale, FL on board the luxurious MSC Poesia, and will make stops in the beautiful ports of Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico, before returning on November 19th.
