"Singer/songwriter Craig Lyons is a talented young artist with a number of intriguing compositions in his repertoire...creating a certain honesty and intimacy in his lyrics. He is a gifted vocalist... an energetic and enthusiastic performer." - Music Connection, Vol. XXXI, No. 9
“One of today’s best independent artists” - Clearchannelmusic.com
“Craig brings a refreshing sound to an overly saturated music scene. His music evokes a mood and takes you away with his mesmerizing lyrics. Craig can also get your blood pumping with tracks like Dreaming World and Camera Shy.” -- JR Lindsey

"Craig Lyons is one of today's top multi-talented artists. In listening to 'Equilibrium Theory,' one can't help but become engulfed in the passion with which Craig masterfully writes. His powerful lyrics leave a lasting impression on listeners. We'll be hearing great things to come from this artist." -- Frank Cano
1 & 2 Billboard-charted producer (R. Kelly, Azul Azul, many more)
"I've been in the industry over 15 years dealing with some of the industry's top performers from all around the globe. In my life as a music promoter, Craig Lyons is one of the most sincerely fantastic people I've had the pleasure of working with. He is genuine in spirit, a phenomenal songwriter,
fashionable, charming and enormously epic."

"Craig's music is completely original, though somewhat evocative of the
coolest aspects of Radiohead, Jeff Buckley and Pete Yorn. The melodies
on this disc have real staying power. Listen to 'Camera Shy' and
'Falling Upward' if you need proof. One listen through this album
invites another, and another, and…
The playing, vocals and production on Craig Lyons' 'Equilibrium Theory'
are first-class. This is smart music for a new millennium." -- Chris Wheatley
