"John Wort Hannam is one of Alberta’s finest singer-songwriters — a man who consistently captures what it’s like to live and breathe on the prairies." - The YYScene

"One of Alberta’s most admired folksingers for the way he relates stories in song..." - Edmonton Journal

One of the hardest working musicians out there, Alberta-based singer-songwriter John Wort Hannam, is heading out across Canada once again starting with a Western Canadian Tour (The Go West Tour) which begins tonight in Twin Butte, AB. John will also be doing a string of dates in Ontario and Quebec in October, see below for full tour listing.

Recently nominated for a 2019 Western Canadian Music Award (Roots Solo Artist of the Year) for his album Acres of Elbow Room, John Wort Hannam has been gradually building buzz and critical acclaim for his 7th album since it came out in September 2018.

On Acres Of Elbow Room, John has truly found his voice through his well-honed lyrical style and has landed squarely on his niche in the folk/roots world. He's spent years learning the craft of songwriting and used those tools to write some of his most personal songs. And soon he's going to put those skills to use again when he begins work on his 8th studio album, set for release next year.

"I’ve written a baker’s dozen of new fictional tales and autobiographical musings - about things I wish I had told people while I had the chance, about a photo of my Grandfather, about losing it all at the track and about the quintessentially Canadian Legion Meat Draw," says John. "Can’t wait to bring them to life in the studio.”

Acres of Elbow Room is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services. For more information and the most up to date tour listings, please visit: johnworthannam.com
