John Wort Hannam
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.
John was a fulltime public school teacher until 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 spring of 2007.
John Wort Hannam received two 2007 Western Canadian Music Award nominations, he was named a 2007 New Folk Winner at the Kerrville Texas New Folk Songwriting Competition, and won 1st Prize for Best song at the 2007 Calgary Folk Music Festival Songwriting Competition.
