Lynne Hanson [CA]

Lynne Hanson is the Canadian artist who is too bluesy for country and too raw for folk. She is known for her energetic live shows, her bluesy croon, and her songwriting - solo or with her band The Good Intentions.

Her tenth album, Just A Poet, was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award in 2024. The press is enthusiastic: Roots Highway calls her "one of the most beautiful and intriguing voices in the Americana scene of the past decade", and Country Music People Magazine (UK) writes: "Hanson is now firmly established as Canada's best Americana singer - Just a Poet, no, she is a whole lot more than that. Music fans who love Americana need to pay attention." Skope Magazine describes the album as "captivating Americana... gorgeous and lyrically rich… wonderful collection of songs".
