JULY 2011 - Simon recently finished a successful 3 months on the road opening for Emmylou Harris, The Secret Sisters, The Webb Sisters, and Raul Malo. He also played several solo shows including the famed Glastonbury Festival.
Still very new to the international music scene, Simon has received recognition equal to a seasoned veteran. The London Times says, ”Lynge's pure, warm voice was at its best on the beautiful, Beatlesy 'Love Comes Back to You' and his forthcoming first UK single, 'Infinitely You'. ... With luck, Lynge could be this year's José González.”
