Roots music, rough-around-the-edges folk. Canadian songwriter Lynne Hanson prefers “porch music with a little red dirt.” Hanson's songs are like a favourite pair of jeans. They're faded and worn through in spots, with a bit of honestly-acquired grit ground into the seams. Hanson is a Kerrville New Folk Finalist, been nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award, and won the Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award in 2010. She's toured in Canada, the US, Europe, and the UK, including support tours with Grammy nominated songwriters Gretchen Peters and Steve Forbert.
