| About Lydia Thornton |
|
After nearly fifteen years of multi-generational family sing-alongs, Lydia, then a Buffalo, NY-based Embarrassing Teenage Poet, realized that some people do this outside of their grandparents’ livingrooms and wrote her first song. A few months later she picked up her mother’s old acoustic guitar, lifted a bunch of her baby-boomer parents’ LPs, and a great love was born.
Now older, (slightly) wiser, and living and playing in the Boston metropolitan area, Lydia plays her own songs, as well as maintaining her love for the Irish and Appalachian folk music and story-telling traditions she grew up with, and which have infused her original music.
