The Lethbridge Folk Club Present Lynne Hanson, with Steve Pineo.Local Singer/Songwriter, Karen Romanchuk will be opening.
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, Hanson is known for her high-energy, roots guitar-driven live performances. She has an uncanny way of connecting with her audience with an authenticity that is as entertaining as it is disarming.
Lynne Hanson released her tenth studio album “Just A Poet” in Spring 2024. The album was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Album of the Year.
Steve Pineo is a 30 year musical veteran, a nationally recognized song writer who’s written songs recorded by Paul Brandt (Canadian Man) and Prairie Oyster (Too Bad For Me), and a tireless musical creator. His annual Christmas show plays for five sold out nights every year at Calgary’s premiere music venue, Ironwood. Steve is also celebrated for his loving nine-piece tribute to Elvis Presley.
Karen Romanchuk is a Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, folk, blues and country music singer and songwriter. Influenced by Steve Earle and Lucinda Williams, her songwriting has developed into her own unique sound. She travelled the road with a cover band. Now, she performs her own songs with passion, and her only hope is to touch someone with her music.
Karen has added some amazing credentials to her resume throughout her career, including opening slots for Willie P. Bennett, Gaye Delorme, Katherine Wheatley, Wendell Ferguson (7-time CCMA guitar player of the year, who also graces her cd “Dance”), Leeroy Stagger, The Good Lovelies (Juno award winners) and Jill Barber, just to name a few.
