Lynne Hanson: Bread Box Folk

While regularly drawing comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, Lynne Hanson proudly bears her own title as “Canada’s own Queen of Americana.” Hanson’s distinctive voice and poetic lyrics set her apart and have earned her high praise for her gritty, blues and folk-influenced brand of Americana.

Described as a contemporary fusion of mainstream hipness and retro musicality, Hanson’s live performances are driven by high-energy, roots guitar vibes. Her authentic connection with audiences is both entertaining and disarming. Known for her charm and humour on stage, Hanson’s spontaneity and honesty enchant audiences.

If you love great songwriting and funny storytelling, you will love a Lynne Hanson concert. Don't miss this show!

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 own 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.

A two-time Canadian Folk Music Award winner, Hanson is known for her high energy, roots guitar driven live performances, whether playing solo or with her band the Good Intentions. She has an uncanny way of connecting with her audience with an authenticity that is as entertaining as it is disarming.

Lynne Hanson will release her tenth album Just A Poet in May 2024.
