John Wort Hannam Trio

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 as well as those within his fertile imagination. Twenty two years into his career, he shows no sign of slowing down. In fact, this  JUNO-nominee and Canadian Folk Music Award-winner appears to be gaining both momentum and a wider audience, winning two more Canadian Folk Music Awards for Solo Artist of the Year and Contemporary Album of the Year in 2023. Add two of the finest Canadian instrumentalists – Scott Duncan on fiddle (The Wardens, Barrage) and Jason Valleau on upright bass (The PolyJesters, Blake Reid Band) – to the mix, and you have the John Wort Hannam Trio.

With their three-part harmonies and intricate playing, it’s easy to see why audiences and critics alike hear something special in this trio’s narrative, lyrically driven sound.
