Too tough for folk and too blues-influenced for country, Lynne Hanson’s brand of porch music with a little red dirt can turn on a dime from a sunshine, blue sky ballad to a full on thunderstorm of gritty Americana swamp from one song to the next. Her hard living music has garnered her the nickname “Canada’s Queen of Americana.” And while her deep, bluesy croon has drawn comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, it’s the poetry of her lyrics that really sets her apart.
Winner of two Canadian Folk Music Awards, Hanson is known for her high-energy, roots guitar-driven live performances. She has an uncanny way of connecting with her audience with an authenticity that is as entertaining as it is disarming.
Lynne Hanson released her tenth studio album “Just A Poet” in Spring 2024. The album was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Album of the Year.
