McCauley is a Contemporary folk singer, pianist, and composer. Her passion, and the connection she makes with an audience are the winning features of her performance. Lydia’s writing is personal and ultimately uplifting, displaying her commitment to providing music that enriches the human spirit.
"I wouldn’t have missed this for anything. The words were just as good as the music.”
— Madeleine L’Engle, Newberry Award Winning Author, Wrinkle in Time
Born in Seattle and raised in the southeastern United States, Lydia grew up studying classical and contemporary music and later documented Appalachian Folk music at Berea College in Kentucky. This particular blend of training would influence Lydia’s music style in the years to come. After teaching piano for eight years, Lydia’s love of writing and arranging music propelled her into a career in professional music performance. She formed her own independent music label, Brimstone Music in 1995 and has released six full-length recordings that are distributed nationwide.
"Built around her fine voice and piano work, these songs celebrate life… she sings effortlessly…first rate production all the way.”
— Bill Compton, VICTORY REVIEW
