Preston Lydotes

Preston Lydotes is a Nashville-based folk-rock singer-songwriter known for his vivid storytelling and self-made ethos. Since debuting in 2022, he has grown his following from the strength of that voice. His latest EP, Stranger At Best, praised by The Other Side Reviews as an exercise in emotional depth, has surpassed 300,000 streams on Spotify alone. Lydotes is the recipient of the Portsmouth Music Hall Emerging Artist Award, a three-time New England Music Award nominee (Song of the Year for "The Critic In Me," Songwriter of the Year, and Best Pop Act), and a finalist in the 2026 American Songwriter Road-Ready Competition. He has opened for prominent indie acts Layzi, RobinAugust, and Copilot, and his music has received airplay on 92.5 The River, 96.3 FM Newburyport, and WERS 88.9 FM. A rising modern folk-rock troubadour, Lydotes will roll out his debut album in early 2027.
