Lyons will speak on the upcoming event, New Music on the Bayou Summer Festival which will take place June 1-4. 

The event is a collaboration of contemporary composers who inspire an exchange of ideas and the creation of new works from a wide variety of styles and influences.

Dr. Cain Budds, an Associate Professor of Guitar and Music Theory, just released a CD recorded by Spring 2021 Music Industry Studies graduates in the Louisiana Tech recording studio. 

The CD will be distributed by Albany Records and tracks from the album will be featured on “Classical Guitar Alive,” a syndicated radio show from PRX that is broadcast on 200+ domestic and foreign terrestrial radio stations, in late May or the first week of June.
