| | John Wort Hannam Dynamite And 'Dozers CD John Wort Hannam Discography of CDs
From the Canadian prairies in southern Alberta comes one of Canada's most promising new songwriters John Wort Hannam. John is known for his unique take on the simple day-to-day dramas of the common man through songs that map the landscapes of both the human heart and this vast country of ours. He is a born story-teller with a keen eye for the quirky, a humble and engaging performer with lyrics that create stories behind the songs. His voice is a constant strong and emotive presence demanding attention to lyrics. And while it is true that John is a relatively new face on the folk/roots scene, John has achieved some fine accolades and seen his profile rise rapidly in a few short years. Of late John Wort Hannam was named a 2007 New Folk Winner at the Kerrville Texas New Folk Songwriting Competition as part of the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival. (John joins the list of previous finalists such as John Gorka, Nanci Griffith, Eric Taylor, Lyle Lovett, and Steve Earle. ) Two weeks earlier John won 1st Prize for Best song at the 2007 Calgary Folk Music Festival Songwriting Competition, an award John also one in 2004 as well as the 'Best Performance Award' in 2006. John has two Canadian Folk Music Award nominations for 'Best Emerging Artist' and 'Best Contemporary Singer', a Western Canadian Music Award nomination for 'Outstanding Songwriter' and he took home a 2005 CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival. Recently Guy Clark invited John to his Nashville home to spend a few days co-writing. John Wort Hannam was a fulltime public school teacher until 2000. Shortly after he began to pursue a long time dream of being a working musician. He released his debut CD 'pocket full of holes' in 2002 followed up with his sophomoric CD 'Dynamite and 'Dozers' in 2004 and released his third full-length CD 'Two-Bit Suit' in April of 2007. Two-Bit Suit - John's debut for the Black Hen Music label, takes his Blue Collar Roots songwriting style and combines it with Steve Dawson's contemporary production elements and sounds. The CD brings together a great cast of musicians that includes Steve Dawson on a variety of stringed instruments, Keith Lowe on bass (Fiona Apple, Bill Frisell), Geoff Hicks on drums, Chris Gestrin on all things with keys and features guest musicians such John Reischman on mandolin, and J.T.King's Jeanne Tolmie and Tyler Bird on backup vocals. John Wort Hannam has performed at concerts and festivals across Canada, in the United States, and Australia. His many appearances have included the 2006 Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington DC in conjunction to one of John's songs, 'Church of the Long Grass' appearing on the prestigious Folkways recording label. He tours actively as a solo, duo, trio, and at times as a four piece band with John on guitar, tenor guitar, and harmonica and his 'guys' Tyler Bird on upright bass (and he's been known to sling an accordion in the van), Darcy Stamp on fiddle and mandolin, and Brad Brouwer on percussion. These are just a few highlights in the career of one of the hardest working musicians in Western Canada. John is currently touring and writing songs for his 4th recording.

Dynamite And 'Dozers album
 $14.65   
Taylor Swift abandons any pretense that she's a teen on her second album, FEARLESS--which isn't to say that she suddenly tarts herself up, running away from her youth in a manner that's all too familiar to many teen stars. Swift's maturation is deliberate and careful, styled after the crossover country-pop of Shania Twain and Faith Hill before they turned into divas. Despite the success of her self-titled 2006 debut, there's ...

THE MUSIC OF EMIGRANTS, MINERS & DREAMERSIt was the middle of the 19th century and the potato famine was dealing a death blow to Ireland. Who wouldn't want to go off to California for the promise of gold discovered in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas?The Irish hornpipe 'Off to California' gives us our name; the diversity of our musical experiences finds a home in the historically rich gold country around Sacramento where we have been presenting gold rush material together since 1991.YOU CAN FIND US:• on THE WEST, a Ken Burns production, which aired on PBS in 1996. We provided songs for the gold rush segment called 'The Speck of the Future. '• on the soundtrack recording released in conjunction with THE WEST. • performing on the 1998 'Coloma' episode of Huell Howser's popular CALIFORNIA'S GOLD series. • on the soundtrack of LEGACY, a documentary about the 1850 Sacramento cholera epidemic produced by the California Medical Association in 2006. • on our first CD release together HARD TIMES IN THE PROMISED LAND. PEOPLE SAY:"Period music at its finest!If you like music with 19th century flavor, get this CD! I enjoyed every cut and I can't say that about very many CDs of period music. Speaking as a guitar player, the slide work on "Trudging up the South Fork" was superb! As manager of the gift store at Sutter's Fort State Historic Park in Sacramento, I immediately made this CD a part of my inventory. Give it a listen. You'll be glad you did."--Sparky Anderson, May 13, 20075 stars on Amazon "...a thoroughly delightful offering...I enjoyed every song on this CD. Interspersed are tunes that might have come from the immigrants..., fascinating gems, most with a piquant edge that match perfectly the tone of the album...the illusion of a trip back in time to California's most celebrated era-the Gold Rush."--Carolyn Faubel, July 29, 2007Bluegrass Breakdown, California Bluegrass Association"...the group can really play and sing, like the best of your friends at the neighborhood jam...It's just honest and easy."--Tom Petersen, May 2008Victory ReviewWHO WE ARE: A MIX OF GENRES Andy Alexis developed a talent for finger picking-style guitar blues over 30 years ago, and thanks to the wide open ears of an early instructor, picked up Appalachian clawhammer banjo too. Never one to let others' rules about accepted instrumentation deter him, Andy is quick to hear a place for banjo in a French bourree, an Irish hornpipe or a Russian polka. Along the way he built and ...
