"The upcoming Grant Lyle album project"

He is a master guitarist and his writing has developed exponentially in the ensuing years.

I believe Grant Lyle has assembled the ideal compatriots at this stage and is ready to step onto the global stage. This is a polished, tightly knit unit. Their creative sensibilities are distinctive and their scope and appeal is global.

I trust you will endorse, as I do, the development of this great Canadian musical emissary.
