CBC Musical Nooners July 20: Lydia Hol
Folk music that's subtle, sultry, vulnerable and tenacious all at once
A dynamic voice in Canadian folk, Lydia Hol brings her expressive voice and tasteful musical stylings to the CBC Musical Nooners stage on Monday.
Lydia Hol
Hol brings with her a delicate, elegant take on folk — simultaneously subtle and sultry, sometimes vulnerable, other times tenacious.
Her lyrics are a blend of traditional folk tales and original poetry, inspired by scenes from her own upbringing on the Pacific Coast.
Boats, Hol's debut EP, is to the ear like a decadent dark chocolate or rich rye whiskey is to the palate — a delicious balance of bitter and sweet.
For a taste of what's to come on Monday, listen to Bitter Heart:
