Lyon$ // Sweet Megg // Lone Valentine — live event
LYON$ thrives on breaking boundaries, dialing up the soul and twang for a raucous sound all their own. With a wicked psychedelic streak in their back pocket, they draw inspiration as much from frontman Trey Lyons’ Mississippi roots as from their current big city home, Chicago. The result is cosmic country at its finest–affirmative, transcendent, and free. LYON$ is Trey Lyons (vocals/guitar), Mike Hicks (guitar/piano/vocals), Ian Lee (bass), and Nick Ohlson (drums/percussion). Sweet Megg began her career performing in dingy bars, coffee shops, and DIY loft venues of the East Village and Brooklyn. At 22, she moved to Paris to study jazz vocals, gigging across the city before returning to New York to spend a decade as a full-time jazz vocalist, steeped in the traditions of early jazz and blues. Her debut indie-jazz album, Under the Moonlight (2020), released on Bushwick’s Dala Records, caught the attention of Scott Asen, trustee of The Paris Review, who launched Turtle Bay Records with Megg as one of its debut artists. This partnership produced I’m in Love Again (2021) before she relocated to Nashville, where she wrote and produced her first studio original album, Christine’s Daughter, with renowned Nashville producer Roger Moutenot. Lone Valentine is a genre-fluid singer/songwriter from the American Midwest. A tenured member of Chicago based indie-Americana band, Wild Earp & The Free For Alls, Valentine conjures music ranging from raucous rock and roll bangers to emotive and adventurous alternative folk. While primarily a guitarist and vocalist, Lone Valentine plays with diverse acoustic instrumentation- from cello and piano to crystal glasses and handcrafted music boxes- bringing a timelessness that has both warm familiarity and mysterious singularity. Unafraid to be both deeply personal and unflinchingly silly, no topic or approach is off limits in the imaginative world of Lone Valentine.
