Jory Lyle
A nationally touring singer-songwriter with roots on both Florida coasts.
Jory Lyle's music career spans more two decades, touring nationally with several bands while developing a following in Northeast Florida as a solo performer and songwriter.
Like many professional musicians, Lyle found a love of music as a child. He began his professional music career while he was still in high school, sneaking away in the evenings for band rehearsals and shows. As an original songwriter, Lyle is influenced by several genres and has found a blended style that fits with his sense of music and lyrics. Lyle's sound is similar to that of The Counting Crows and other similar bands, using acoustic-driven tones laid beneath his slightly gravely voice to emphasize the stories he tells in his songs.
Lyle has spent time in Tampa, St. Augustine, and Jacksonville and has a following in all three cities. For Lyle, stage presence and performance come down to the dynamic of the overall song, the way a tune can ebb and flow from soft to loud and then back down again. Lyle states, "It's all dynamics. I don't see any point in playing music if it doesn't make people feel a certain way. Dynamics is emotion. Without emotion, music doesn't exist." It's this philosophy that makes Lyle a true heart and genuine performer to watch and hear.
