Artist History An experienced live performer with a talent for writing songs that you can't help but get stuck in your head, Lyle King can bring you on an emotional ride through reflection, heartbreak, and humor only to leave you with a thirst for more. Even when the music stops you'll still find yourself interested and relaxed with Lyle's dry-humor stage presence. With his catchy melodies and emotional performances Lyle truly strikes a chord with audiences of all ages. Lyle began his "professional" music career in high school with the band Fantasy. During college he moved on to the rock band Quadraphonic taking lead vocals and rhythm guitar once again. He was also in a band called My 2 Dollars with Chris Ticthner (Sunday Rain Dog, Three Mile Limit) and Arthur Adams (The Lazy Songwriter, Kallit Molly). Within the last two years Lyle has started to focus on his own original blend of acoustic rock / folk pop. He's played at many venues around the Burlington Vermont area including Ben & Jerry's, The Village Cup, Channel 3's Morning Music Showcase, and he took thrid place in a state wide open mic competition in Waterbury at the Thirsty Turtle (sponsored by 104.7 - The Point). He released a live cassette album in the spring of 2001 and he's currently recording his first CD. Plans for the future include performances at Borders on Church Street and more appearances throughout the Burlington area.

Instruments When Live: Acoustic Guitar (12-string and 6-string), Harmonica, Vocals / In Studio add: Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums and Percussion, Backing Vocals, And Occasional Cello and Piano.
