“Ageless, pastoral folk seamlessly join a contemporary Indie spirit” - Autumn Roses

Poet Hollie McNish referred to Newcastle’s bridges as “muscle-built beauties of sweat into steel, of hardening fires, solidified metals.” Songwriter Ruth Lyon is the product of those “muscle-built beauties” and, like her city, her trials have taught her to never let others define her path. Despite being a wheelchair user since the age of 21, Lyon has forged a career fronting her rock and roll band in countless basement clubs across the cities of Europe, spinning moves on Hollywood’s red carpet and performing solo in New York and Austin, TX.

In 2021, Lyon struck out on her own, determined to express herself authentically and document her own introspective journey. She crafts unique and mesmeric songs—analogue and angular anti-folk that gives as much attention to silence as sound, tied together with understated but muscular groove. Lyrically, Lyon moves like a shimmering ghost between the abstract, the archetypal, and the naked truth; meaning creeps just below the surface and dares you to reach out and in, to dig out your heart and give emotion solid shape. Transportive, vulnerable, and honest, above all, Lyon preaches beauty and self-acceptance in the face of loss, heartbreak, and the mess of being human.
