Named after an alternative country artist and raised in a rural corner of New Hampshire, Lyle Hutchins always knew he wanted to be a musician. His songs, inspired by artists like Bon Iver, Ruston Kelly and Snail Mail, offer a unique blend of cathartic Alternative Rock, Americana, and Folktronica that simultaneously tugs on your heartstrings and forces you to crack a wry smile. Over the years, Lyle has gone on to study Popular and Commercial Music at Loyola University New Orleans, playing all over the city in clubs and bars including Tipitinas, Carrollton Station, and French Quarter Festival. He travelled to Nashville where he was sponsored to attend Americana Fest 2023 (during which Hutchins got the chance to meet his namesake, Lyle Lovett.) More recently, he has performed with Noah Kahan’s bassist and virtuoso session musician Alex Bachari, spent his time networking with everyone from managers to sound engineers, and put as much of his remaining energy into perfecting his craft as possible.  With the end of his time at college in New Orleans, Lyle released his debut album Flatlander, a fourteen-song narrative which explores the beauty and danger of nostalgia, homesickness and heartbreak, underscored by the trials and tribulations of pursuing an often misunderstood career in music.
