THE ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTITUTION
“A strong consistent style which is melodic, expressively played, and has the simplicity of folk, the rhythmic excitement of jazz, and the refinement of classical music.”
LA CROSSE TRIBUNE
“Lydon has a riveting, powerful voice — a critic once called her, ‘The Lauren Bacall of folk music.’ — and a sure virtuosic touch on the 12-string and harp, which she even plays simultaneously.”
Mike Starling
“She of the Taboresque voice and the spellbinding way with stringed instruments. Ariane Lydon writes songs that bring out the mythic and archetypal in everyday issues – corporate greed, broken relationships, escaping the cold, war in the world. It’s something in the way she puts words together and then surrounds them with a web of sound.”
Andy’s Front Hall, NY (“Andy Recommends”)
You are still one of my favorite artists ;-)
Laney Goodman, Women on Air, Boston MA
“I’ve always loved her music. Ariane’s songs become universal in their sound because listeners begin to experience a language of visual images. And it is through her music that Ariane brings a genuine passion for the world as her gift from a life of observing.”
Jim Hallberg, Program Director WDRT Radio
“Absolutely original…destined for greatness.”
Steve Perry
