Michael sang with backing music for my husband's firm holiday party and it was perfect. The songs he chose were perfect for the event and having live music was such a fun addition to the happy hour! We had so many compliments about how wonderful he was and how great it was to have live music. Would absolutely book again!

You and your husband were such gracious hosts, Jordan. It was a pleasure to be with you to share the holiday spirit. Many thanks for choosing me to help you celebrate..
Michael is amazing! His voice is absolutely beautiful. He can sound like Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, and Louie Armstrong. He is also very entertaining. Everyone at the concert commented on what a wonderful job he did and how much they enjoyed it. I highly recommend hiring him!

Thanks so much, Karen. It was an honor to join your celebration.
Michael was absolutely wonderful. He made my Mom's birthday very special by singing songs she remembered from her youth. He was such a great singer that I went to another concert of his the following week. I highly recommend him!!

Response from Michael Lyon:
Thanks so much, Karen. If you are coming to tonight's (December 6, 7:30) show, be sure and get there early because seating is limited. I look forward to seeing you and your family again whever you have some time to come to one of my shows. Wishing you and yours a very Happy Holiday.
Michael Lyon is a great entertainer! Loved every minute of it. My mom said she loved every song, we all did! And even though it was difficult for my dad, he got up and danced with my mom to "What a Wonderful World" along with my brother and sister-in-law (it's here favorite song). It was a special moment celebrating my parents 64th wedding anniversary and having Michael Lyon there to sing so beautifully made it even more special. Wish we could do it all over again! Thanks Michael for making the moment extra-special.

Thanks very much, Robin. You and your family were delightful and so hospitable. It was a privilege to be there for this special celebration.
We hosted an NYE party at Hillcrest Country Club, and Michael and his band were a hit! All the members loved the music and had such a great time! He was great to work with and I look forward to working with him again!
Jazz Band
Response from Michael Lyon:
Thanks for the great review, Susan, and for being so easy and helpful to work with. Hillcrest Country Club and its members are truly the best and I have always appreciated the warm welcome they offer.
Michael was prompt and professional. He was very easy to work with. He was flexible on start and finish time also. But the the best part of the engagement was his talent. His voice is first class with a wide range. We will use him again. I highly recommend him.
I would highly recommend Michael Lyon and his jazz band! Michael and his band performed at social/dinner party in front of approximately 100 people. Those in attendance were extremely entertained by his performance. Michael was very easy to work with and was responsive to all our requests. We will definitely try booking Michael again in the future!
