Lynn Meredith is an American musician who was a founding member of Kansas. Born in Manhattan, Kansas, Meredith's roots are in rhythm and blues, later branching out into progressive rock in his late teens. Meredith formed Saratoga with Kerry Livgren, Don Montre and Dan Wright after high school, and Saratoga became the foundation for Kansas. Using his voice as another instrument, he searches for ways to add to the music using falsetto and various vocalizations. After Kansas, Meredith didn't sing professionally for many years, but recorded with a band called Plastique in the early 1980s. He has since reunited with his other Kansas II cohorts in Proto-Kaw. Currently, Meredith records with Proto Kaw, the reformed version of Kansas. Proto Kaw re-grouped after the original Kansas II demo recordings were discovered and released on Cuneiform Records in 2002. This release caused the original members of Kansas to communicate for the first time in 28 years. A reunion party was planned in Kansas City in 2002 and the band enjoyed playing together again. This led to Kerry Livgren writing music for some experimental recordings with the members and an album, ''Before Became After'' was released under the Proto Kaw name in April 2004 on the Inside Out Music Label. Since that time, Proto Kaw has begun performing live again and released their third CD ''The Wait of Glory'' in January 2006. They toured Europe in 2006 and released their fourth CD in 2011 entitled "Forth". Recently Lynn Meredith took part in "Ancient Rites of the Moon" , the first álbum of the international supergroup Stardust Reverie released in 2014 and performed the vocals for "Song for Catina". He was also asked to perform two additional songs on the new Stardust Reverie album "Proclamation of Shadows" entitled "Silver Bullet" and "Wuthering Heights". While away from professional music, Meredith served as an assistant football coach at Kansas State University, Panhandle State University, and Pittsburg State University. Later, he spent over fifteen years as color analyst for Pittsburg State football on KKOW (AM). Meredith is now Vice-President of Marketing and Communications for the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics). ==Discography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lynn Meredith」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
