John Wort Hannam Nov 16

Alberta's John Wort Hannam has been on his roots-fueled troubadour journey for two decades, spinning song writing gold from the chaff of the lives he has encountered an within his fertile imagination.

Twenty years into his career, he shows no sign of slowing down. In fact, he appears to be gaining both momentum and a wider audience. Winning two 2023 Canadian Folk Music Awards for Solo Artist of the Year and Contemporary Album of the Year.  John has enjoyed a lifelong passion for singing and audiences and critics hear something special in his narrative, lyrically driven songs. Effortlessly mixing rich and clear timbered vocals with lyrics that tug at the heart, his sound is both unique and familiar.

John Wort Hannam, recognized as one of the best folk roots songwriters in Alberta, has released 8 full length recordings, and has a few feathers in his hat that included a Juno Nomination, three Canadian Folk Music Awards, a coveted Kerrville, TX New Folk Songwriting Competition win and numerous other Canadian Folk Music Award and Western Canadian Music Award nominations.
