Known as a gifted singer with a natural soul sound and a knack for calibrating his voice to fit the song, Southside Johnny Lyon is a contemporary of Bruce Springsteen, to whom he credits his success and with whom he has performed. Southside got his nickname from the fact that he became a fan of the blues that pervade the south side of Chicago. Southside describes his band’s concerts as “It’s gotta’ be different every night…Our audience knows what they’re getting…”
