Lygon was nominated in 2003 for “Best Instrumentalist, Contemporary Folk” by the Washington Area Music Association. A guitarist for almost 30 years, he honed his craft studying with legendary players like Al Petteway, Duck Baker and Michael Fath. Of his pupil, Fath has readily cited Lygon’s “Compelling technique and compositional prowess”. Pat Staton of WAGE said of Lygon “The guitar rings true”.

As well as a talented soloist, Lygon has been in demand as a sideman, including a fruitful stint with alt folk-rockers Cerulean Groove (the brain child of disappear fear’s drummer Laura Cerulli). He has both recorded with and appeared live with Darcy Nair (Pyrate’s Royale). For Greg Vickers’ project, “Not Quite There”, Lygon handled both recording engineer and bass player duties.

Lygon’s experience in worship bands like Cross View from Mountain View Community Church as well special guest appearances make his music perfect for special music at church services or religious coffee houses. Lygon is an entertainer equally at home in house concerts or festivals . . . anywhere audiences appreciate good acoustic music.

Lygon’s latest CD is “The Most Lucid Moments”, a compelling follow up to the critically acclaimed “UnEarthly Passions”, hailed by the Alexandria Old Town Crier as boasting “music and lyrics that will bring you to your knees”.   BACK...
