Lydia Ainsworth brings Right From Real to Studio Q

Symphonic pop singer/songwriter Lydia Ainsworth performs live throughout the show.
Symphonic pop singer/songwriter Lydia Ainsworth drops by Studio Q to perform from her record Right From Real. The album unfolds almost like a dream with varied, lush soundscapes and textures filled with stringed instruments, quirky electronic samples and even samples of her own voice. 

The Toronto-based musician also joins guest host Gill Deacon to discuss her classical roots, her penchant for genre-blending and her broad range of influences -- from baroque artist Guido Cagnacci to the Spice Girls.
