Too tough for folk and too blues-influenced for country, Lynne Hanson’s brand of “porch music with a little red dirt” can turn on a dime ” shifting from sunshine-soaked ballads to gritty, thunderstorm-driven Americana. Her hard-living sound has earned her the nickname “Canada’s own Queen of Americana”
While her deep, bluesy croon has drawn comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, it is the raw poetry of her lyrics that truly sets her apart.

In 2024, Windborne launched their most ambitious project yet: To Warm the Winter Hearth, an album and illustrated book of midwinter songs. Its crowdfunding campaign broke records, raising nearly $500,000 from more than 8,000 backers—making it the most-funded vocal album ever. The project underscores Windborne’s gift for creating music that celebrates resilience, beauty, and community in the year’s coldest season.
Windborne’s viral rise came in 2017 when a spontaneous video of them singing the 1840s protest song The Song of the Lower Classes outside Trump Tower struck a chord worldwide, reaching millions of viewers. That same year, they released Song on the Times, an album connecting historic union and protest songs with contemporary struggles for justice. The project established them as singers with both conscience and artistry, using harmony to highlight solidarity across centuries.
