RUTH LYON
Friday 9th August 2024
Banqueting Hall, Newcastle Civic Centre, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8QH
Newcastle’s Ruth Lyon celebrates strength in vulnerability and the allure of imperfection, challenging societal norms and igniting a journey towards self-acceptance and empowerment – all unravelling through offbeat anti-folk, commanded by her soulful vocals and witty yet raw lyricism; influenced by such acts as Fiona Apple, Aldous Harding and Regina Spektor.
For her latest release Direct Debit To Vogue (2022), Lyon worked with Bristol producer John Parish, who has notably worked with PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding and This Is The Kit. “I’ve always loved John, he’s one of my heroes – This feels like the most successful music I’ve ever made, because I had the best tools and the best steerer of the ship.”
Since the release Lyon has received accolades from the likes of PRS Women Make Music and has received airplay from BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music, as well as invites to perform at The Great Escape, Latitude Festival, Secret Garden Party. She has toured the UK with the likes of the Mystery Jets and as a headline artist in her own right. She has just returned from recording her debut album, again with John Parish, and is gearing up for her biggest year yet.
