Shannon Lyon brings Lost Creek to Cranbrook
By Louie Cupello
Shannon Lyon is on tour in support of his 12th studio release ‘Lost Creek,’ launched in January 2015 revealing Lyon’s vintage pop-rock sound that he was known for on earlier recordings.
He will be performing live at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council Gallery on Friday, March 13 from 7 to 9:30 p.m.
“After recording The Lights Behind in 2014 , which was mostly a solo acoustic affair, I had the urge to strap on the old Gretsch and turn on the amps again,” Lyon said.
Lost Creek is a collection of 12 songs put together in Lyon’s cabin studio (a log cabin set in the Monashee Mountains of British Columbia).
“I live in a remote area on a dirt road which is prime cougar country. When the sun goes down, you wouldn’t walk down my road without a rifle, so I got a lot of work done in my studio.”
Lyon penned and recorded the collection in between working and producing other artists this past year. He also performed most of the instruments himself (including drums) but did invite his cast of musician friends Elly Kellner, Steve Wood, Kolja Lieven, Mike Roelofs, and Bj Baartmans to join in.
“I started playing drums when I was 15 and bought a guitar at 17. It’s been a lot of fun sitting behind the kit again,” he said.
Looking forward to a packed house, we are planning on holding more in-house concerts, however we need your support
