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 an entertaining as it is disarming.

Lynne Hanson releases her tenth album Just a Poet in May 2024.

NOTE: Patchwork is a house concert series, i.e. we present concerts in our living room. For all shows the artist(s) take the door. We provide the stage, chairs and hopefully a room filled with eager listeners. We will provide a few snacks and soft drinks will be available; otherwise it is BYOB (we have glasses!). Bringing music-loving-friends and visiting family members is strongly encouraged.
