John Wort Hannam / Jenny Allen [LIVESTREAM]

John Wort Hannam

Born in the UK but long since a southern Albertan, John Wort Hannam earned a degree in Native American Studies and taught on reserve before becoming a prize-winning songwriter and performer. John is known for his unique take on the dramas of ordinary life and for mapping landscapes of the human heart and his adopted home in iconic anthems such as “Church of the Long Grass.” With a keen eye for the quirky and evocative lyrics, John has been nominated for a JUNO, three Western Canadian Music Awards, a North American Folk Alliance Award, and he received the 2010 CFMA for Contemporary Album of the Year Award. “You’re dead a long time,” he says, “so you better get out and make something beautiful.” Welcome John back for his seventh Club appearance, and check out his new album, Long Haul (2021).
