Lydia Loveless

Blessed with a voice that's powerful enough to cut through the din of a rowdy dive bar, 26-year-old singer-songwriter Lydia Loveless is known for imbuing her country-tinged compositions with some punk rock energy. While there's plenty of alt-country balladry on her 2016 Bloodshot Records release, Real, the presence of tracks grounded in pop and disco reveal just how versatile (and unpredictable) Loveless truly is.
