Joey Lyon is a multi-instrumentalist and singer who specializes in Rock and Roll. With a high-energy, love-filled vibe, he's comfy as the center of attention, or just providing pleasant background soundscapes. Joey makes vocal-driven or instrumental music from guitar or piano, and often delves into Soul, Blues, and Church music.
With notice and for special occasions, he will also pull together a full band, as well as travel long distance. He loves nothing more than creating a program of music to suit the moment.

September 7, 2022He was very professional, communication was excellent! So sweet and truly knew what he was doing. We would absolutely work with him again. Highly recommend. He provided a song list from many different genres. Beautifully skilled guitarist. We really enjoyed working with Joey.

February 24, 2021Joey had to reschedule, understandably, due to a snow storm that hit Seattle. Communication and flexibility was very appreciated. The music selection was great and he has a wonderful voice and guitar skills. Even through a mask and gusty winds off the Sound! I recommended him highly!

October 11, 2018Joey has a great voice! This project is still ongoing and I'm still placing singing roles. I will be hiring him again for several more singing parts...possibly with a different set of vocals.

September 25, 2018Joey was so easy to work with & provided great entertainment for our nonprofit event! He played covers from all of the decades 60's to 90's, which was perfect for our theme. I would highly recommend using him!

Solo: a smattering of covers and originals that work together stylistically and suit the occasion. As someone who's been playing onstage more than ten years, I've played a little of everything. At an intimate event, you'll see me sit and play more reserved tunes with a lot of piano and acoustic guitar. At a more upbeat event, you'll see me jumping back and forth from piano, electric keyboards, acoustic and electric guitars--letting loose.
Band: for special occasions, a dynamically arranged mix of original rock songs and crowd-pleasers; or perhaps a set of genre-specific covers (blues, soul, indie, Beatles, singer-songwriter favorites). I've even performed a rock'n'roll medley comprised of the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations" and Eminem's "Lose Yourself."
Joey started playing serious guitar at age 12 and writing love songs at 16. Amidst his study of Composition, poetry, and Jazz guitar at Seattle Pacific University, he released an original LP called What Makes Me Tick, 2012. Since then he's had his fingers in plenty of pots: an Indie solo project (Deep Talks), experimental rock band (Glass Frames), teaching private lessons, and helping with church music.
