Lyle Morse
Lyle Morse, also known as “Lonesome” Lyle, is an outstanding acoustic guitarist, harmonica player and stunning singer-songwriter-performer who currently calls Eastern Washington state his home. Lyle has been refining his musical vision and talents over the last four decades, and currently entertains in countless acoustic music friendly coffee houses, bistros, restaurants, street fairs, resorts, theaters, wineries and folk and arts festivals throughout Washington, Idaho and Montana. His music has been highlighted, and performed live on National Public Radio affiliates and college radio programs featuring blues and folk music. He has also performed on network television and cable vision.
Purely because he finds the music so expressive, moving and profound, Lyle concentrates his energies on acoustic blues music, but does venture into other forms of American roots music. Lyle's primary "soul shadows" and musical influences have been Son House, Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, and Muddy Waters. Lyle's sound is "groove-based" and other influences include the Chicago blues stylists, Detroit soul/rhythm & blues, country blues, folk, jazz and rock-a-billy music. Good blues music can be found in a wide variety of musical contexts, and Lyle has incorporated this music into his performances.
Lyle has recorded 6 compact discs. Lyle's CD “No ReMorse”, a collection of 13 original songs, is offered for sale at this website (click on the "Buy" icon).
