Lydia Cash grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. She moved to Chicago on a whim in 2013, and her love for the city has since become a wellspring of inspiration for her music.
​
Cash spent this summer recording her sophomore album Violet at Wilco’s Loft studio. Channeling the dreamy grit of The Cranberries and the unfiltered angst of Alanis Morissette, Violet is vulnerable, honest, and defiant - a glittering ode to radical self-love and female empowerment.
​
Listening to Lydia Cash’s EP, “Blush,” feels almost like reading a secret– the five songs are beacons of authenticity where she reveals the innermost workings of her heart’s loves and losses. Each song is a unique confessional, a portrait of a moment in time, poured out of her like the best bottle of wine on a back porch. Heartache, new romance, and introspection are all common themes that are held together with threads of vulnerable moments– a shared cigarette, a head on a shoulder. Her delicate melodies, enrapturing voice, and a pedal steel twang showcase this native Alabamian/Chicago transplant’s dichotomy of grit and sweetness.
