Fensala Hall Concert Series presents THE WOODSHED

Acclaimed roots songwriters JOHN WORT HANNAM and T. BUCKLEY make up THE WOODSHED, a modern folk duo based in Alberta, whose name refers to the beginning of Buckley and Hannam’s collaboration - woodshedding songs together during a residency at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in 2017.

After a captivating performance at the 2023 Canadian Folk Music Awards, Buckley and Hannam finally decided to ratify their collaboration and bring The Woodshed to life. Together they bring a beautiful vocal blend of brotherly harmonies combined with gutsy and sophisticated song writing alongside intricate guitar playing.

JOHN WORT HANNAM has been on a roots-fueled troubadour journey for over two decades, spinning songwriting gold from the chaff of the lives he encounters and those within his fertile imagination. After twenty plus years, he shows no sign of slowing down, winning the 2023 Canadian Folk Music Award for both Solo Artist and Contemporary Album of the Year. Audiences and critics alike hear something special in his narrative, lyrically driven songs.

Award-winning songwriter T. BUCKLEY stands quietly among a disappearing ilk of true craftsmen. Shadowed by his Western roots, his soul and voice are unmistakably genuine, and the result is a class of songsmith long revered and scarcely achieved. With influences stemming from the '60s Laurel Canyon and New York Cafe scenes, he tells stories embedded with detail, empathy and heart.
