Arcana Rising





Strangers on the internet

It started with a desire to make music and share it with the world. A chance encounter via Fiverr between a guitar player and a vocalist with a desire to write original material is how our story began. The magic between them was as natural as breathing. Breaking from the traditional two guitar rock band format and adding Violin finalized the formula of a unique sound. Arcana Rising is music created by artists in three different countries.

Jeff Lynn





Jeff Lynn: I started playing guitar at 15 and after a few attempts at bands that were utter failures I moved to the technical side of the music business. Touring with regional Florida bands Second Helping and Stranger then to national bands Metal Church, B.B. King, Five Finger Death Punch, Nonpoint and The Sword, I learned the ins and outs of bands & touring. Retired from touring I decided once again to pursue working on my own music and this is where we are.
