Growing up on a farm in rural Ohio,Lydia Lovelessalways felt like an outcast in a town that emphasized religion and conformity. She escaped that with moving to Columbus,Ohio at age 14 and discovering punk-influenced county and rock n roll. The alt-country singer combines the honky-tonk sound and style of classic country artists like Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline, delivered with the twang and sneer of guitar-wrapped punk rock. Her 2016 album Real won critical acclaim, winding up on numerous "Best Of" lists, and the film "Who Is Lydia Loveless", a documentary about her life and music hit the film festival circuit. You can catch Lydia and band in action when they play Headliners on Friday (11/17) appearing with JD McPherson. Here with the song Same to You from the Real album is Lydia Loveless, The Opening Act.
Catch The Opening Act Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 10:00 EST.
