SHANNON LYON PRESS
"Shannon Lyon...twangy troubadour!" New York Post (USA)
"Meticulously crafted songs that rely largely on his talent for words and melody...untainted and pure." Billboard (USA)
"Music that more than once reminds of Townes van Zandt and breathes the atmosphere of the past." - PLATO.NL (HOLLAND)
"Shannon Lyon is a kind of troubadour that tells about love, loneliness and the wandering existence, in the tradition of Townes van Zandt." - STORM (HOLLAND)
"The moment that Lyon entered the stage it was clear that we were about to encounter an emotive set of intimate songs. He demands the attention of the audience as the room filled with the soft sounds of the soul." Inpress (AUSTRALIA)
