Making a Scene Presents an Interview with John Wort HannamIn 2001 John Wort Hannam quit his teaching job and spent 10 months depleting his savings while 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 is releasing his seventh full-length recording Acres Of Elbow Room and has a few feathers in that lucky hat for his first six 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.

John Wort Hannam is Making a Scene

We’re heading back to Alberta for another interview on Episode 609 of Folk Roots Radio. This time around we are in Lethbridge to chat to John Wort Hannam about his new album “Long Haul”. The follow up to 2018's "Acres Of Elbow Room", it was recorded in lockdown, during pandemic times. A lovely, relaxed, warm feel to it - it's a timely reflection on relationships and life in general and what we all miss when we're not able to spend time together. As always, we wrap up the rest of the episode with more new releases, and this time around we hear from Dizzy &amp; Fay, Margot Merah, Katie Spencer, Mick Flannery &amp; Susan O'Neill, Doc Watson with Merle Watson, Julian Taylor, Chris LaVancher and Josh Ritchie.If you like the artists you hear on this show and want to support them, don’t just stream their music – BUY their music and then you’ll really make a difference to their income during this difficult time when it’s much more challenging to find live shows.Folk Roots Radio is a labour of love - a full time hobby.

Episode 609 - feat. John Wort Hannam - Long Haul & More New Releases

John Wort Hannam hails from Alberta, where he started out writing narrative story songs and character sketches and carved out a name for himself singing those songs and telling those stories all across Canada and beyond. He made a couple of albums independently, then a couple with the help and backing of influential and successful producer Steve Dawson, which were released on Steve’s Black Hen Music. In 2011, John and his wife Jenny welcomed a son, Charlie, and he started writing more personal songs, exposing more of his own feelings and experiences. That’s where he really found his stride as a songwriter and began to create his most meaningful work. Wanting to record closer to home, he made a couple of albums with Leeroy Stagger, who was my guest on the first episode of Fly with your Shadow. His latest release, 2019’s Acres of Elbow Room, came about after a particularly difficult period of dark depression for John which culminated in a physical manifestation of years of undiagnosed and untreated difficulty, when he lost his voice and couldn’t sing.  In just a couple of weeks, on October 15, John will release a new album, again produced by Steve Dawson, called Long Haul. music credits and more information: https://wp.me/pdcjXL-7q
