Lynne Hanson is an Ottawa-based, Americana songwriter known for her high energy, roots guitar driven live performances. 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, the prolific songwriter has released nine studio albums along with two books of poetry over her 18 year solo career.
