Country-punk Columbus chanteuse Lydia Loveless has found big-time praise — including from Spin magazine (“brutally crafty songwriting”) and the Chicago Tribune (“a major new voice”).

Loveless chats with The Dispatch about songwriting, touring with her dad, and dealing with the heightened attention. She plays Rumba Cafe at 10 p.m. tonight.

Every time I’ve seen Lydia Loveless, she has exceeded expectations. Give her a listen, even if you don’t like country music, you may be surprised.
