Bridget Lyons

A rising Voice on the Americana scene, Lyons & Co front-woman Bridget Lyons is truly a self-made success story and is a creator in multiple genres. Prior to her Lyons & Co’s 2024 album Southern Rock & Nicotine, Bridget previously released two albums under her name. She has performed with a number of renowned musicians, from famed bluegrass artists to R&B legends including Brandy Norwood (aka Brandy).

Lyons’ honey-and-gravel sound is rooted in an upbringing soundtracked by the Southern Rock, Delta blues and Chicago R&B. She learned how to play the guitar by watching her dad, a slide blues guitarist and spent her summers working on her grandfather’s farm where the only radio station for miles got her hooked on country music.

Lyons’ music testifies to a life lived at the intersection of conflicting forces: violence and love, addiction and resilience, shame and triumph. With smoky vocals that catapult and glide from growl to wail to tender croon, Lyons sings honest songs about real people. Her sound challenges categorization in genre “norms” but has been referred to as “swamp rock”; grounded in the blues, folk, and Southern rock traditions.

Lyons debuted her first full-length album, 294, at SXSW in 2022. Her song “294” was the number-one song on the SXSW Spotify playlist for that year.
Lyons’ latest release takes her into the heartland where a modern resurgence of the Tulsa Sound is on the heels of Nashville and Austin.
