“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,
The La Crosse Tribune

“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.” — Atlanta Journal and Constitution

“I won’t soon forget the precise, wry stage presence of Ariane Lydon at the Iroquois Amphitheater.”
— The Courier-Journal, Louisville, KY

“...a superb performance by the multi-talented Ariane Lydon.  Performing in concert at the Jubilee Theater, Lydon closed her show to a standing ovation and encore as the audience chanted, ‘One more, one more.’ ” — Cindi Elli, Marshfield Mail
