Short Bio
Singer/songwriter Lydia Brownfield hails from the midwest but spent many years honing her craft in Atlanta, where she toured the south with her band and opened for many notable artists including Grammy winners, Loudon Wainwright III and Indigo Girls. Her music influences range widely from alternative, Americana, indie/folk, to power-pop and punk, and her songs cross many of those same genres but find a comfortable spot among edgy folk/pop artists.
Her pure and powerful voice has been compared to Alison Krauss, and Sinead O'Connor. Her writing style has been compared to Tori Amos, PJ. Harvey, and Patty Smith.
Lydia performs mostly with her husband, Jeff Dalrymple as a duo--comparable to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings and The Civil Wars--with tight vocal harmonies and intertwining guitars, and also with her latest project, Albatross City, is an audio-visual, multi-media event showcasing Lydia's original songs accompanied by her original films and videos.
