Year:

Lydia Barnes, known artistically as Rock Dove, is a talented writer and performer hailing from the Seacoast of New Hampshire. Her journey began at the age of 10 when she first took piano lessons, stoking a passion for music that would drive her path in life. As an alumna of Berklee College of Music, and holding a degree in Classical Voice Performance, rock dove artfully weaves her diverse experiences—both traditional and unconventional—into performances that captivate audiences with their unique blend of polish and raw emotion. Bouncing from the charming venues of Portland, Maine, to the vibrant stages of New York City, her compelling act is not to be missed, and her EP, Patience, is available on all streaming platforms.
