From the Sothern California’s cultural landscape emerged a luminary figure in indie folk: Michael Lyon. His music has reminiscences of the iconic Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel. Lyon’s music transports the listeners to times bygone whilst his timeless storytelling resonates deeply with his audience; a kind that transcends trends making an indelible and lasting mark on his listeners. This singer-songwriter is adept in blending rock and pop sensibilities with acoustic rhythms that provide his songs with powerful emotional undercurrents. Here’s an artist whose music gives alt-folk a new limelight whist seating it with soft rock. What a genius!

“Michael Lyon’s new track The Guy Who Won is not only a truth bomb but also a rallying cry for truth and accountability!”
Michael Lyon’s new single “The Guy Who Won” is a raw, authentic narrative about the dark feeling of disillusionment as an aftermath of deception and the one silver line of hope always there. The pivotal election year brings disillusionment but in the power of a collective voice rising lies a glimmer of hope. The track is crafted with an extremely controlled energy that flows evenly through the instrumentals. A folk-rock vein runs through the song and the poignant rhyming lyrics and cadenced singing only add to its charm. The artist here transcends mere entertainment and shows a mirror to the society, at the same time reminding us that the voice of the society in unison has the power to create a brighter future.
If you appreciate music with depth and meaning, this song is a must-listen for you.
