Lydia Cash

Lydia Cash writes candidly about her life, forging songs as beacons of authenticity in which she reveals the innermost workings of her heart’s loves and losses. Her delicate melodies woven with alt-rock angst showcase this native Alabamian /Chicago transplant’s dichotomy of grit and sweetness. Cash’s upcoming full-length album, “Violet,” is slated for release this fall.
