Jason Lyles

What do you get with Jason's music? Unflinching, unapologetic positivity. Not to mention a good time.

Jason Lyles has always been interested in what lies between genres – in that gray area where sounds tangle together and kick free of any sense of restriction or confinement. Whether it’s the sharp twang of an acoustic guitar blended with the emphatic thrust of some euphoric power-pop echo, or the tumbling movements of mid-90’s alternative rock spliced with 80’s jangle-pop, he has a unique ability to graft musical histories together in a way that doesn’t feel forced or disconnected.
Jason has shared the stage with such acts as Dawson Hollow, Yam Haus, The Ruen Brothers, Howard Jones, Oweda, Sarah and the Safe Word, Sam Johnston, El Rocko, and The Smoky Nights.

The energy and enthusiasm that Lyles shows on this record is definitely contagious. Listeners everywhere will feel the urge to stop what they’re doing, get up and start dancing. Moving and uplifting all at once, let’s hope that Lyles keeps the momentum going and releases more albums in this vein soon!

Tandem is a beautifully diverse collection of songs covering a range of emotions and sonic feels...To put it simply, the album showcases range. And it does so gracefully and cohesively.

"As a good Power Pop song, 'Tandem' is made to hook you. In my case, the first thing that made me interested was precisely the orchestral brushstrokes that weave behind Lyles' voice. He reminded me of Electric Light Orchestra and Badfinger: the catchy melody; the vocalist, frontal, but smiling; the progression, full of fireworks."

Jason Lyles' latest release, "Bargain Bin," is a motivational track backed by a full band complete with a horn section. We dare you to try to listen to this song and feel bad about yourself. If Jason's lyrics don't make you smile, the back-to-back saxophone and guitar solos are sure to do the trick.

"A guitarist and talented songwriter of Americana folk and pop music, Lyles is as comfortable as a solo artist as he is performing with an ensemble. Resting comfortably somewhere between the wiry pop classicism of The Cars and the twangy rock thump of Jason Isbell, the positive music of Jason Lyles rambles around its influences, creating a bridge between the aesthetics of pop, folk and rock."
