Too hard for folk and too blues-influenced for country: Lynne Hanson's ‘porch music’ with a touch of red dirt can transform itself from one song to the next in a flash, from a sunny ballad to a dark Americana swamp storm.
Her hard, lively music has earned her the nickname "Canada's own Queen of Americana". And while her deep, bluesy vocals have drawn comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, it's the poetry of her lyrics that really sets her apart. The two-time Canadian Folk Music Award winner is known for her energetic, 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.
