About John Wort Hannam
|
|
With John Wort Hannam, the song writing is exceptional. Veteran CBC broadcaster and writer, Robert Mersereau, has reviewed his latest CD, Acres of Elbow Room, and says, "Simple is often the best when it comes to song writing, especially in the folk genre. Make your case, make it plain, and get out. Of course, it takes ages to get to that point for a writer, if they ever get there. Hannam gets there over and over on his latest",
In 2001 John Wort Hannam quit his teaching job and spent ten months depleting his savings while he sat at his kitchen table, wearing a lucky hat, writing his first ten songs. Those songs would become his first recording Pocket full of Holes, released in 2003.Seventeen years later, the Alberta musician has released his seventh full length recording Acres of Elbow Room and has a few feathers in that lucky hat for his first offerings. Feathers that include a JUNO nomination, A Canadian Folk Music Award for Best Album of the Year, a CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award, A Kerrville Texas New Folk win, and numerous Western Canadian Music Award and Canadian Folk Music Award nominations. Recent years have seen a great deal of change in John’s life – becoming a Dad, turning 50, a move to the “big city” of Lethbridge, a long deep bout of depression, and episodes of losing his singing voice. John has emerged a better songwriter, a better singer, and a better player. John has refined his lyrical style and landed squarely on his niche in the folk-roots world. He has, quite literally, found his voice. (info sourced from the artist’s official website). . |
John will be accompanied by two members of his four piece band. Jason Valleau on upright bass, and Scott Duncan on fiddle.
