Billy Lyon - Live Music for Every Occasion

With roots in both the U.S. and Ireland, I’ve spent the past two decades crafting a high-energy, engaging live music experience for weddings, private events, festivals, and top venues. I started in 2002 as the lead singer of a rock band in Donegal, Ireland, and after years of performing across Europe, I established myself as a go-to musician in Sarasota, FL.

I specialize in versatile live performances, offering music as a solo artist, duo, trio, or full band, covering rock, pop, folk, country, Motown, and more. My setlist spans timeless classics to modern favorites, ensuring the perfect atmosphere for any audience. Whether it’s an intimate acoustic session or a full-band party experience, I focus on creating an unforgettable connection with the crowd.

What to Expect:
• Dynamic Live Performances – Energy, passion, and top-tier musicianship.
• Professionalism & Versatility – Reliable, adaptable, and always performance-ready.
• Customizable Setlists – Music tailored to fit your event’s style and vibe.
• Proven Experience – 5-star ratings on Wedding Wire, The Knot, and Google.

Where I Play:
• Weddings & Private Events – Cocktail hours, receptions, and corporate functions.
• Top Venues & Festivals – Regular performances at Florida’s most popular bars, breweries, and music festivals.
• Resorts & Destination Events – Bringing live music to locals and visitors alike.

I’ve had the opportunity to open for major acts, including The Undertones, Pat McManus, and Johnny Gallagher. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering, or a lively night at a local hotspot, my goal remains the same: deliver an unforgettable live music experience that keeps people engaged and entertained.
