She is guaranteed to both pull on your heart strings and get you up dancing. With her acoustic guitar as accompaniment, Sam Lyon differs from your standard “wedding or pub singer”, and avoids using cliché backing tracks, making any song special and ‘just right’ for the client.

Her entire discography, including one full-length studio album, three EPs and numerous singles, have all been picked up by radio stations internationally, and by the age of 24, Sam has reached #1 on the Tradiio Global Charts, #1 on Round Sound Radio, and has received acknowledgement from various international radio stations.

Sam did a performance at the evening reception of my wedding. She also sung out first dance. She has the most beautiful voice and really got everyone on the dance floor. Thanks so much Sam.

From start to finish Sam was exceptional! We booked her to play at the drinks reception of our wedding and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Communication from Sam was prompt, professional and friendly, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her. Her repertiore of songs is extensive, and after we send back a list of our preferred songs, she crafted an incredible set list for the day. Her performance was unbelievable, we had A LOT of comments from guests about how good it was and what a nice atmosphere it created. From the point of booking to the end of the day, everything was flawless, I couldn't recommned Sam higher!

You were a delight to work with at Folk on the Dock Festival 2016 and you held the audience captivated throughout your performance. I am sure we will be seeing more of you on the festival scene.

Her dedication and love for music is obvious to anyone who meets her and is even more obvious once you have heard her perform. Sam's approach to performing is mature beyond her years as is her song writing ability. If you are looking for an acoustic act for your event, then look no further than Sam Lyon. It's that simple, she is that good.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Not only does my repertoire contain a large number of well known hits, but I also put a twist on them, making them even more unique and memorable. I often receive great feedback about how people loved my take on particular songs that they weren't expecting, or even songs that they didn't like before they heard my version!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I play an average of 250-300 shows every year, so that works out at a lot of venues! Some of the more impressive venues I've played at include the Halliwell Jones Stadium, the AJ Bell Stadium, and the Liverpool BT Convention Centre (part of the Echo Arena). However, I also play a lot of smaller venues including cafes, bars, restaurants, and more.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Gabrielle Aplin, Taylor Swift, Billie Marten, Eva Cassidy

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

I recently supported X Factor winner, Matt Cardle, on a couple of occasions, I was actually invited back by personal request of him and his band! I also have a residency with the Halliwell Jones Stadium performing at their Rugby Season Launch or Award evenings, where I perform for the players, coaches, Sky Sports hosts, and their families and friends.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

That's no problem! As long as you let me know as much in advance as possible, any timing changes shouldn't affect your booking unless I have another booking the same day. However, I will always let you know before confirming the booking if I do have another booking for the same day, so you are aware.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, I am able to provide background music inbetween my sets. I cannot offer a complete DJ service, but I am happy to build a setlist of background music based on your song requests in advance.

How much time do you need to set up?

My equipment only takes approximately 15 minutes to set up, however, I will need an extra 30 minutes+ if a second system is required, or if performance area decorations are requested.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

I put together my setlists based on years of experience of knowing what works with different types of audiences. However, I also think it's hugely important for a client to have the opportunity to build their own bespoke setlist for their big day, so as to keep it as personal as possible. I am also happy to learn song requests in advance.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I bring all of the equipment I need, including extension leads in case there aren't any nearby power sockets.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If you have a specific song in mind for your event, and you can't find it in my repertoire list, please do feel free to send it through to me! I am more than happy to try my hand at learning any song requests, but please do keep in mind that not all song requests are guaranteed, simply due to vocal suitability.
