Gretsch Lyles & The Modern Eldorados

The Modern Eldorados were formed in 1994 as a vehicle for singer/songwriter Gretsch Lyles and songwriting partner, Chris Reids original brand of classic country music. Raised in a family of musicians, Lyles was heavily influenced by his grandparents generation of country greats. Growing up in rural Baldwin County, Alabama he began singing and playing guitar by the age of six and wrote his first song at sixteen.

From a very early age he felt the calling to follow in the footsteps of his heroes Marty Robbins, Hank Williams and Johnny Cash. The Modern Eldorados live show is more than just a concert. It is a musical experience dripping with history and full of excitement.

With all the conviction of an old time gospel preacher, Lyles delivers his unique brand of witty southern humor. When The Modern Eldorados take the stage, class is in session for a wildly entertaining lesson in authentic American honky tonk.
