Lyle Morse
Lyle Morse, creator of smooth acoustic blues & Americana music, both traditional & original, on guitar with soulful vocals and harmonica.
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. He has been refining my musical vision and talents over a few decades, and he currently entertains in countless acoustic music friendly private functions, coffee houses, bistros, restaurants, street fairs, resorts, theaters, wineries, and folk and arts festivals throughout Washington, Idaho, and Montana.
Lyle’s music has been highlighted and performed live on National Public Radio affiliates as well as commercial and college radio programs featuring blues, folk and original music. He has also performed on network television and cable TV. He concentrates his energies on acoustic blues music, but he does venture into other forms of American roots music.
Some of his primary "soul shadows" and musical influences have been Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, Muddy Waters and Keb Mo. Lyle’s sound is "groove-based" and other influences include British blues, the Chicago blues stylists, Detroit soul/rhythm & blues, country blues, folk, jazz and "Americana" music.
Throughout his life, music has been his constant companion. Lyle says he cannot remember a time when I did not desire to play the guitar and sing a song. He came to the blues later in life, probably because as he says, “It seems to me that one has to experience the passage of time and circumstance in its many forms before you can convincingly interpret that style of music. Experience does teach volumes. I feel the performance of music suspends the passage of time. When I perform and feel “in the zone,” hours feel like minutes, and with the endorphins flowing, I experience no pain, no worries, no regrets.” In that somewhat transcendental space Lyle hopes to make a connection to the spirits of the individuals in his audience.
