Bríd Lyons

Bríd Lyons is a Kilkenny born singer, songwriter and folk musician. Her acoustic sound is paired well with poetic lyrics that conjure images of nature and the human experience. Her work is influenced by artists such as Hozier, Lisa Hannigan, Saint Sister and Anna Mieke. Bríd’s sound is Celtic and ethereal, and features everything from soaring a capella vocals to rhythmically complex acoustic arrangements. In the past year, she has been selected as one of the KCLR finalists in the Hot Press Local Hero talent search and has also played a number of prestigious gigs. These include the Ruby Sessions, Whelan's Ones to Watch and has supported Irish folk giants such as Lisa O’Neill, Rónán Ó’Snodaigh and Myles O’Reilly at the beautiful St. Canice’s Cathedral and also opened for Jerry Fish at Kilkenny Day 2021.

Bríd has been honing her craft as a composer and performer for the past 8 years, working both on her own and with other projects. Her single, 'October', which was released in late 2021, saw her delve fully into a solo venture. Bríd's second single, 'Mother', was released on November 10th 2022 and a gig was held in the famous Cobblestone venue to celebrate the launch. Mother was also awarded as The Circle Sessions Song Of The Year for 2022 and featured in articles by Hot Press and The Last Mixed Tape. 'I Must Go' will be released on April 7th and will be the third single from her highly anticipated EP, Tied To The Truf, which is scheduled for release in early May.
