John Wort Hannam ‘Love Lives On’ tour dates

Canadian singer songwriter John Wort Hannam from Fort Macleod, Alberta is taking to the UK with his tour Love Lives On in June and July.

Born in the Channel Islands and raised in Alberta, John earned a degree in Native American Studies and taught on a reserve for five years. Since leaving his teaching post for music in 2002 he’s been nominated for a Juno, three Western Canadian Music Awards, a North American Folk Alliance Award and three Canadian Folk Music Awards – winning Contemporary Album of the Year in 2010.

John is well known for his story telling through music. Themes which are central to his music include life in Western Canada, and the human experience as seen through the eyes of simple working folk. He has performed at music festivals in Canada, the United States, Great Britain and Australia and he appeared at the 2006 Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C.

“People are starting to sit up and notice this singer-songwriter in his appearances from Montreal to Australia.” — Edmonton Folk Festival
