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.

Lynne Hanson

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.

The Hearts

From indie chart success and placements on MTV and HBO to stages at SXSW and major Canadian festivals, The Hearts have carved a unique path in the Indie-Folk/North Americana landscape. Their sound, a tapestry of heartfelt melodies and evocative harmonies, resonates across diverse venues, from intimate dive bars to sprawling festival grounds. Their fifth studio album, “Traces” (Nov. 2024), a #1 hit on CKUA Radio and garnering international attention including BBC Radio airplay, showcases their signature blend of melodic melancholy and earthy grooves.
