An evening with Lynne Hanson "Canada's own Queen 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, showcased in solo acts—or with her band, the Good Intentions—is both entertaining and disarming. Known for her charm and humour on stage, Hanson’s spontaneity and honesty enchants.
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.
Her prolific songwriting has taken her on extensive tours across North America, Europe, and the UK, gracing major festivals such as Take Root, Glasgow Americana, and Maverick Festival.
