Jon Byrne’s rise to prominence has, surprisingly, been a long and arduous one. He was raised in the tough industrial U.K. town of Barrow-in-Furness. This experience allowed Jon to write about the rough side of the social spectrum; he says he writes from the soul and insists his songs tell it ‘how it is.’

With sharp looking suits, even sharper lyrics, beautifully woven melodies and performances that shake the stage with enough energy to force the needle off the Richter Scale, Jon Byrne, will be releases his new album Built By Angels to coincide with his U.K. tour. He comes to Liverpool on Saturday 18th May.
