Being a full time touring songwriter isn't getting easier. I'm not the first musician to say that for small artists the music industry feels like its on life support, and others have articulated the issues a lot more eloquently than I ever could. Every part of making a living from music has changed over the past 10 years ... I keep on keeping on, but don't let all the positive posts and photos mislead you into thinking doing this is easy. I've seen massive declines in merchandise sales, even on tour, and venues aren't paying more while expenses are all up.</div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style='-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);color:rgb(5, 5, 5);font-family:system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif;font-size:13.125px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin:0.5em 0px 0px;orphans:2;overflow-wrap:break-word;text-align:left;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:pre-wrap;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;'><div style="font-family:inherit;text-align:start;" dir="auto">Part of how I now generate my income is through a service called Patreon.

<p>My brand new single "Light In Me" was released to the wild on January 27, with a world track premiere from the venerable media outlet The Bluegrass Situation. While me and Blair Michael Hogan had a blast making "Ice Cream In November" I was happy to hand the producing reigns back over to Jim Bryson to capture this new song. </p>
<p>Light In Me is available now for download in the Panda Cave store ... I'm in the process of writing for the next record so it's Pay What You Can with proceeds going towards my next recording project. </p>

<p>And while streaming doesn't pay it IS important for venues, media, and granting organizations to see healthy numbers, so be sure to add Light In Me to your music libraries.</p>

<p>With the way things are at the moment I find myself once again thin on shows with time on my hands, so if you would be interested in commissioning me to write YOU a song, send me an email and let's talk!</p>Lynne Hansontag:www.lynnehanson.com,2005:Post/68567432022-01-01T16:13:04-05:002022-01-01T16:13:04-05:00Opening the door for 2022 ...<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/238532/782700994f178cf2ea6b975338c1a3d412216237/original/06-lynnehanson.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br>Last January I was at home watching YouTube videos on how to use Logic Pro and my UAD digital interface. Music has always been my go-to to get through hard times, but my non-techie brain was straining and I hadn’t written a song in many many months. What a difference a year can make. </p>
<p>I’m not gonna lie. 2021 was not easy. There were personal losses. Real ones. Ones that leave a mark. But there were also wins. And things to be proud of. Things I thought I would never be capable of doing. </p>
<p>Like writing enough songs for another album. And recording it myself. Okay for that part I had a LOT of help from a few of my friends. Like mix and master genius and drummer extraordinaire Phil Shaw Bova. Cause recording drums is well above my pay grade. And knowing he would be fixing - I mean mixing - the whole thing instills a lot of confidence to get on the other side of the board for once. And there was my pal and super talented guitarist Blair Michael Hogan. Amazingly Blair and I did NOT kill each other despite spending three months producing and recording a record together. We also co-wrote 9 of the 12 songs. I co-wrote another with Jessica Pearson who was also part of the Global Music Match program I crammed into the summer of 2021. And there were two written with my pal MJ Dandeneau - including a french language song! </p>
<p>On the first day of THIS new year there’s a lot of uncertainty. If you’re feeling it I’m right there with you. If you’re embarking on something new and wondering if you can do it, I get that too. So if you need words of encouragement, drop me a line. For real. Because sometimes we all need a little help to get through the really tough parts. It’s all one huge leap of faith. So here's to a 2022 filled with music and light and a whole lotta hope.</p>Lynne Hansontag:www.lynnehanson.com,2005:Post/68177952021-11-22T09:04:37-05:002021-11-22T09:04:37-05:00VINYL SALE On Now<p><a contents="" data-link-label="Store" data-link-type="page" href="/store"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/238532/696fe3ae27007ec3146d3473da740f79c7cc6d7a/original/screen-shot-2021-11-22-at-8-34-58-am.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></a>Limited in-person shows and no touring for almost two years means I've got vinyl in my basement that would love to spin on your turntables.

<p style="text-align: center;">So we will be putting shovel to dirt and actually starting to record in just a few more weeks!! We are SO excited to start this project. I keep wanting to add more and more exclamation marks </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This also means we are now working on our first STRETCH goal to cover the cost of pressing vinyl. I've pressed vinyl for my last two records - three if you include The LYNNeS "Heartbreak Song For The Radio." I love vinyl, from the way the artwork is front and centre, right down the fact you have to get up to turn the record over to hear the other side. Well, unless you have some fancy automated turntable. It's all people powered at my house </p>

<br>NEW SINGLE "Hold My Breath" OUT September 10, 2021</h3>
<p>I'll be releasing my first NEW music on September 10 in the form of a brand new single called "Hold My Breath." I co-wrote the song in early January remotely with Blair Michael Hogan, who sent me several instrumental tracks to see if they might be the basis for inspiration. "Hold My Breath" was one of three tracks that I chopped up and rearranged in my DAW (digital audio workstation) that week. Some of the quirks was me developing a melody over what was originally a different chord progression. And then sticking with it when we refined the song. It's not a pandemic song, but it WAS inspired by friendship, connection, and living in the moment. <br><br>You can Pre Save "Hold My Breath" on Spotify or Apple Music and have "Hold My Breath" automatically added to your music library as soon as it's released on September 10, 2021.</p>

<p>With the official launch happening today I can FINALLY let the cat out of the bag and announce that I'm one of 78 artists chosen from around the world by 18 different music export agencies to take part in a music initiative this summer called "Global Music Match 2021." </p>
<p>One of the goals is to help artists continue to get their music heard while touring is on hold. In additional to a whole whack of other stuff, over the next 12 weeks I'll be introducing my fans to 5 other artists and their music, and they'll be doing the same with me and MY music. We're also planning a few collaborations - I'm already working on a co-write with my new pal Zoomie from Taiwan!! </p>
<p>There's a LOT of really exceptional musical talent involved and I'm really looking forward to sharing my teammates with you between now and September. If you haven't already, be sure to follow me on social media and come along for this global whirlwind musical journey.</p>Lynne Hansontag:www.lynnehanson.com,2005:Post/66448302021-05-31T13:16:13-04:002021-05-31T13:18:45-04:00NEW highlight reel from KLMF Live From The Library<p>Back in February me and the band taped a video at the Kemptville Library as part of Kemptville Live Music Festival's "Live From The Library" series.

It was exactly one year ago on March 15th that Blair Michael Hogan, MJ Dandeneau, and myself boarded a plan for home, cutting our European album release tour short and landing JUST as Canada shut its borders to the rest of the world. And The Pause began. </p>
<p>Last year I celebrated my birthday - which is on St Patrick's day - quarantined in my house. Instead of birthday cake in Holland and a visit to the zoo to see the Giant Pandas, it was a drive by birthday song and cake left on my doorstep. Complete with sparklers. Actually that part was quite awesome. </p>
<p>Well THIS year to mark the occasion me and Blair Michael Hogan are going to live-stream from my music room! We've been busy writing up a storm together and we are planning to play a few of these new songs for you. Yes a WORLD PREMIERE performance of new music and you don't even have to leave your house!! </p>
<p>This is also the inaugural concert for the brand new Saken Sunday Music series (virtual for now). The series was created by Ken Duff, who has hosted me and my musical friends on a number of occasions at the Arbour Gallery in VanKleek Hill. </p>
<p>Mark you calendars. Tune in. Tell your friends. It'll be fun. And for those of you overseas we here in NA turn our clocks ahead a few weeks earlier than you so you don't even have to stay up late!</p>Lynne Hansontag:www.lynnehanson.com,2005:Post/65606642021-03-01T03:00:00-05:002021-03-07T15:02:17-05:00Reading Month Poetry SALE<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/238532/9a332aada72e7fdc6df02e5e2289a4067788f9aa/original/national-reading-month.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br>March is designated as National Reading Month - a month to motivate people of all ages to read every day.

<p>I've played a LOT of house concerts over the years. Big ones. Little ones. Inside. Outside. While floating on a lake ... I find playing live-streams is a lot like playing a house concert. Only you're in YOUR house and I'm in MY house. And the house is infinitely huge. </p>
<p>A couple of weeks ago someone offered to host me for a virtual house concert. We thought about making it a ticketed Zoom event, but in the end we thought more was merrier. So once again this will be free to watch if things are tight, and you can pay what you will for a virtual ticket if you have the means. </p>
<p>I'll have <strong>Blair Michael Hogan</strong> joining me for this one. And you can even chat amongst yourselves while it's happening without getting one of those looks. But you WILL have to make your own snacks. </p>

We are in the process of rescheduling as many dates as possible to April 2021.</p>
<p>I am currently in self-quarantine at home in Canada after having managed to get home late Sunday night, and my heart aches for how the world has changed almost overnight as this virus makes its way around the globe. Please stay safe out there and let's all do our part to "flatten the curve." </p>
<p>Beyond the health concerns, like many in the performing arts I am staring down the reality of not being able to make a living for an unknown time period. I am a full time touring musician, so not entirely sure how this is going to go. </p>
<p>I will be posting daily while in quarantine on my Patreon subscription page ... if you have the means please consider subscribing. If you don't, please just tune in for (hopefully) a little light: </p>

<p>I will also be playing a 30 minute livestream on Americana Highways over on FaceBook this Wed March 18 at 9:30 EDT. Hoping to have more livestream concert details soon. </p>

We hope to reschedule dates for Fall 2020 or at some point in 2021. The LYNNeS concert dates scheduled for early April are postponed and we hope to have information on when they will be rescheduled soon.

<p><strong>TORONTO, ON - OCTOBER 16, 2019</strong> - Today, award-winning Canadian singer/songwriter <strong>Lynne Hanson</strong> announces the release of her seventh studio album, <a contents="Just Words" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PaEN99AN5c&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank"><em>Just Words</em></a>, due out on <strong>February 7, 2020</strong> (Independent). The new album features lead single, <a contents="“True Blue Moon”&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSH2Q6uOWC8&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank"><em>“True Blue Moon”</em> </a>(OUT TODAY), and marks something of an artistic departure for Hanson, who purposely tapped producer <strong>Jim Bryson</strong> (Oh Susanna, Skydiggers) to push and pull her outside of her comfort zone. Contoured and textured, the result is a more muscular sound than on efforts past, more Steve Earle than Gillian Welch. <em>“</em>True Blue Moon” is given a video treatment to compliment the song that Hanson says is an<em> “Infectious, uptempo, tongue-in-cheek response to the Jacques Brel classique “Ne Me Quitte Pas.” This song is about the perils of falling for a poet, and just how rare it is to find true love.”</em></p>

I'm back in studio for the next couple weeks recording a brand new album with Jim Bryson! This week we tracked guitars and all things stringed with the fabulous musical mad genius Kevin Breit. The new record won't be released till January 2020, but I'm sooooooo excited about these new songs and can't wait for you to hear them.<br><br>Prior to stepping back into the studio, I spent January fighting winter snowstorms in the NE US, and then touring through a SERIOUS deep freeze in the Northern Prairies. Toss in a weekend at Folk Alliance International in Montreal and a week recording bed tracks for the new record in Kingston at North of Princess, and I was ready for a break from the Tundra. Spent almost 6 weeks tour with the LYNNeS across Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, British Columbia and Alberta. Was nice not to have to wear winter boots AND smell the flowers. If you want to get a photo recap of my time on the road you can click on over to my <a contents="Instagram account" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.instagram.com/plynnehanson" target="_blank">Instagram account</a> where I kept a daily "photo diary" of my adventures. <br><br>This week I'll be back in studio this week tracking some guitars, vocals and other sonic wonders before heading BACK out to Alberta to play four shows with various configurations of my Good Intention(s).

I started the year releasing Heartbreak Song For The Radio as one half of <a contents="The LYNNeS" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.thelynnes.com" target="_blank">The LYNNeS</a>. We played our first official show together at a house concert in Eganville presented by Off The Grid Productions. I had spent a month woodshedding my electric set up so it was fun to get to finally put it to work in a live setting! We then toured Europe and the UK in February and March, braving white-out winter conditions on the road as the Beast from the East brought very Canadian like weather to our friends across the oceans. We then played a whole whack of shows across Canada and the North Eastern US, and some summer festivals too. I managed to fit in a solo tour out in Alberta in June, which also included climbing some mountains and finally getting to see the giant pandas at the Calgary Zoo. I was told they don't do much more than eat bamboo, but they must have heard I was coming because they did not disappoint, tumbling, running around, falling down AND even doing somersaults. I spent a week on Prince Edward Island writing songs, and seven weeks touring Europe with my band The Good Intentions. Saw old friends. Met some new ones. Climbed up on many chairs, tables, and bars to sing, and even climbed a 30 foot stack of picnic tables just because it was there. Attended the Canadian Folk Music Awards in Calgary with The LYNNeS - we won Ensemble of the Year and English Songwriter of the Year which was a huge honour. And to close it all out I spent December writing songs for a new album I'll be recording in 2019 with Jim Bryson. It's been a privilege to get to share my songs with all of you out there, and to share the stage with so many talented musicians over the past year!! I am VERY much looking forward to what 2019 will bring. Happy New Year!!!! xo Lynne ?</p>Lynne Hansontag:www.lynnehanson.com,2005:Post/55361332018-12-02T15:15:01-05:002018-12-02T15:15:01-05:00The LYNNeS 2018 CFMA English Songwriter and Ensemble of the Year<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/238532/eac6cb5a0abad0d53d47d67bc32d6cac3a23cd60/original/img-8737.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>

What an incredible 7 weeks. Thank you the venues who gave us a stage to play on, to everyone who helped to spread the word about our tour, to old and new friends who opened their homes to us, and of course the wonderful audiences who listened to our songs night after night through 37 shows in Germany, Holland, Belgium, France and England. I'm blessed to have had a killer band of Good Intentions who were also all round delightful human beings to be packed into a tour van and hotels night after night for 48 days. Here's a video of Good Intentions MJ Dandeneau (bass), Joe Coombs (guitar), Cody Iwasiuk (drums) from Frankfurt ... playing Good Intentions! Go raibh maith agat #thankyou</p>

On our way back from Jasper, Jarred Albright and I stopped to take a break and stumbled upon one of the many gorgeous lake / mountain scenes that seem to go on forever in the Rockies. So we grabbed our instruments and video'd a brand new song I've written called "Long Way Home" which somehow seemed fitting. The birds sang along and the sun came out and it was absolute joy :-)</p>

Started out by playing my songs with a world-class jazz band in a world-class room. Played some shows in the US. Released my 5th full-length studio album Uneven Ground. Spent six weeks touring the album in Europe with my band The Good Intentions. Formed The LYNNeS with Juno-award winning songwriter Lynn Miles, co-wrote an album together, and then recorded it to tape - yes ACTUAL tape. Toured Uneven Ground for 2 months in Western Canada and played with more amazing musicians. Closed out the year by shooting a music video. Met SO many fantastic people along the way words cannot possibly express my gratitude.<br><br>xoxo</p>

So quite humbled to have made the Best of 2017 list for the Americana Music Show. They had this to say about Uneven Ground:<br><br><em>Lynne Hanson's Uneven Ground is barroom blues rock that sounds like it came from a couple of blocks off Beale St, from the slightly seedy side of town. The guitars are fuzzy and her voice is electric and you can tell she knows how to work a room when she's on stage. And don't miss the swinging bluesy title track!</em></p>

Last year over coffee at one of our favourite shops in Ottawa we decided that it was time to take this show on the road and actually make an album of co-writes, release it, and tour as <strong>The LYNNeS. </strong></p>
<p>We both have had lengthy solo careers ... “Other Lynn” has been touring and releasing albums since 1932 (okay maybe not that long), has a Juno award (Canada's version of a Grammy Award), and 4 Canadian Folk Music Awards to her credit. </p>
<p>We've been busy writing over the past several months and have settled on the songs we want to include on this new album. We've decided to go old school and record to tape with <strong>Dave Draves</strong> at<strong> Little Bullhhorn Studios </strong>in Ottawa. This is an independent release so we are going to need some help to get it done. Which is where YOU come in :-) </p>
<p>We've set up a <a contents="Kickstarter Campaign" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/628643261/the-lynnes-lynn-miles-and-lynne-hanson-are-making" target="_blank"><span style="color:#c0392b;"><strong>Kickstarter Campaign</strong></span></a> to help raise the funds we need to make and release this album. We're offering a whole bunch of rewards for our backers ... from pre-sales (download and physical versions) of the album, to postcards from the road, to a concert in your home. You can check it out here: </p>

<p>WHATEVER you can do to help us with this project is HUGELY appreciated.

<p>Please feel free to send an email if you have any questions at all about the Campaign ... and thank you in advance for your continued support of independent music! </p>

We've co-written songs together, she's produced two of my albums (<em>River of Sand, 7 Deadly Spins</em>), and we've played dates in Canada as well as having toured in the US and Europe. So after including three co-writes on my latest album <em>Uneven Ground</em> we've decided to officially form <strong>The LYNNeS</strong>! We'll be heading into the studio this August to record a full album of our co-writes and have plans to begin touring in early 2018 starting with an album release tour in Europe. Lots more exciting news coming soon, but for now, check out this video of "Gotta Have Rain" we recorded when Lynn dropped by my place ...</p>

But this time it looks as if she has added some maturity to the equation, maybe also thanks to her new producer Scott Nolan, who made her capitalize on her spontaneity and sensibility.

I always joke that it's the best country to live in as a songwriter because we can hunker down and hibernate in the cold and the dark with an unending supply of song inspiration to draw on for an entire 6 months. Inevitably the days start to get longer and warmer ... and this Spring I'm putting out my 5th full-length studio album, and taking my band The Good Intentions on the road for several months to showcase the new tunes! Including heading over to England and Europe for 6 weeks ... here's one of the flyers for our show in Stuttgart, Germany at the end of May. <br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/238532/e56b65a034b9b1475485dbe305f637a2124ca774/original/flyer-preview.png?1488284189" class="size_l justify_center border_" />Lynne Hansontag:www.lynnehanson.com,2005:Post/45675242017-01-28T13:12:20-05:002017-01-28T15:10:07-05:00New Album Coming This April<p>I'll be releasing a brand NEW album on April 7, 2017. <em>Uneven Ground</em> was recorded in Winnipeg,MB by <strong>Jamie Sitar </strong>and produced by <strong>Scott Nolan</strong>. </p>
