Craig Lyons is a distinct and passionate singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer. Having released three self-recorded, self-produced solo albums during a period of artistic solitude on the shores of his native lake Erie, Craig and his unique sound have exploded into LA's independent music scene which eagerly awaits the release of his fourth album, 'On Reflection', available late June of this year.
A quiet small-town guy bringing much-needed heart back to a cynical music landscape, his identifiable sound has drawn some of the city's finest and most interesting players as his 4-piece backing band. Craig's electric live rock show also has moments of intimate acoustic sublimity and is rapidly acquiring a loyal following while captivating first-time listeners alike. They can be heard performing weekly all over the city's most distinguished venues including The Viper Room, Key Club, The Mint, Molly Malones and the House of Blues.
Quickly recognizing the talent of this new artist, Craig’s music has been licensed by Universal Music, Fox and MTV, and heard on shows such as 'So You Think You Can Dance' and 'The Real World'. Craig has been nominated for the LA Music Awards 2 consecutive years, receiving a producer's choice award in 2008. He also swept 2008's Star Music Awards, taking home top honors 'Artist of the Year' and 'Singer/Songwriter of the Year'. Craig has appeared in Music Connection Magazine and can be heard on commercial radio (ClearChannel music feature), independent radio (including WOXY), and college radio (including 92WICB, MTV-U best college radio station 2008).
Coupled with his remarkable talent, Craig is a fervently altruistic and socially-conscious artist. A social activist and volunteer, Craig is featured on the ambitious charity 'Feed333' album, has organized his own benefit performances for Shriner's Hospital pediatric burn victims, volunteers as a mentor for musically gifted special-needs children, and is committed to personal and professional environmental responsibility.
We are excited to introduce what will be Craig's first collaborative effort with the release of 'On Reflection'. A killer team of creative professionals has assembled based on their belief in Craig's vision, featuring his dedicated band of professional players, a live Hollywood string orchestra, grammy-winning mixer Rob Hoffman (Christina Aguilera, Michael Jackson), and multi-platinum winning mastering engineer Patricia Sullivan (Paul McCartney, U2). This work represents a cumulative reflection of Craig's finest work to date and will undoubtedly thrust him into the next tier of his already flourishing career.
In essence, this exciting young artist's distinct sound, characterized by its breathtaking timbre, emotional power, and honest song writing have begun to excite and amaze listeners everywhere, ensuring Craig Lyons' music a secure place in our collections and our hearts.
