The Lyon Crowns is an alternative rock band from San Diego, California starring Jorge Luna (vocals), Alex Montes (bass), Alex Parra (guitar), Ricardo Luna (guitar), and Manuel Zumaya (drums). These five musicians began their journey years ago. Sharing a love for music since a young age, they each performed in a church band. Jorge Luna played drums in his church band and younger brother Ricardo Luna played guitar alongside him during youth group church service. Childhood friends Alex Montes, Alex Parra and Manuel Zumaya shared similar stories playing for their church bands too. The friend’s mutual interest and devotion to making music is what united them 10 years later to create the Lyon Crowns. Allison Andrews, director of San Diego fashion week, was looking for a new sound to perform at the event and turned to friend Jorge Luna to put a band together. Jorge was a solo percussionist artist at the time but was up to the task. The guys immediately worked well together, composing music and writing songs and debuted at the Beauty Bar before fashion week. Soon, the band that was once put together for an event was now booking more gigs and gaining the respect and admiration of fans and fellow musicians. Like every journey, however, the band went through some rough times having to switch the original drummer and guitarist. But their unbreakable spirit and drive pushed the band forward and for the past year the Lyon Crowns has booked and played shows in their hometown San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Sharing the belief that one should fulfill their dreams, the band hopes to energize their fans with the same passion and purpose. The guys recently recorded their first EP at Signature Sound with recording engineer Ruben Montoya and want to expand their horizons. Their philosophy is simple – “if you work hard at something, you can accomplish what you want in this life.” Bio by Andrea Mora
