February 12 to 18, 2015
Valentine’s hangover event set
Dave Whitfield CANMORE
Many people have important,
memorable
dates they can look back
on over the years – birthdays, weddings, births, deaths ...
Unlike many people, though,
Ottawa folk/roots singer songwriter
Lynne Hanson has a very specific date
which she identifies as one where
she turned her life around – Sept. 1,
2011.
On that date, Hanson, after a night
of drinking, “saw the next morning
that I had to get things under control. I woke up one day and decided I
had to make a change. I stopped cold
turkey, I white knuckled it, but I had
great friends to support me; that’s
the support system I used.
“And the first of the month date
works for me. I’m very goal oriented
and it helps to have a clear anniversary date to look at. And it wasn’t
just alcohol, I had to get control of
my life, get hold of my demons and
leave more time for songwriting.
“I was a disaster as a human being
and I had to get my proverbial s--t
together.”
Hanson (vocals, acoustic guitar),
along with Fraser Holmes (vocals,
electric guitar), play Canmore’s Good
Earth Cafe, Feb. 15 as a Valentine’s
Day Hangover show – a celebration
of love, heartache and everything in
between.
Based in Ottawa, Hanson is heading west with her latest album, River
of Sand, an album that came about
after a four-year hiatus and as a result
of her getting her life under control.
River of Sand is Hanson’s fourth
album and one that leans heavily on
personal experience.
The title track and “Whiskey and
Tears” are both sober looks back at
life as it was before, “Heaven and
Hell” is a brooding contemplation of
depression and “This too Shall Pass”
is a delicate and courageous confession about its darker moments.
“Foolish Things” is an intimate melody about losing track of
one’s priorities, while “Colour My
Summers Blue” is a ballad about
drinking to kill the pain of a lost
romance.
River of Sand includes life observations and biographical events, “and
stuff I’ve seen along the way,” said
Hanson. “I’ve melded it all together
and audiences have really been liking
it.
“I wanted it to be a reflection of
me as a songwriter, and I took my
time, I had to find my voice again.”
With River of Sand out, Hanson
said she’s also working on new material for a “specialty project” that she’s
not revealing at this time.

“For me, songwriting happens
when it happens. Sometimes it’s me
writing on little pieces of paper,
other times it’s while sitting with my
guitar after I’ve set aside some time
to work.”
Part of the Hanson/Holmes tour
will take place as part of a Home
Routes house concert series, the
rest in smaller, intimate venues like
Good Earth.
“House concerts have really
taken off,” said Hanson. “You can
play almost every night and they feed
you well. I eat better at those than
at home.
“And we’re hoping for really,
really good roads while we’re out.”
Hanson describes her music as
“porch music with a little red dirt”
or like a favourite pair of jeans that
are rough around the edges, faded
and worn through in spots, with a bit
of honestly-acquired dirt ground into
the seams.
Tied with Lucinda Williams on
Penguin Eggs’ Top Ten Albums of
2014 list and called “one of the standout country albums of the year” by
the Irish Times, Hanson’s River of Sand
has seen its creator duly rewarded
for the artistic courage she showed
in making the record.
River of Sand was released simultaneously in the UK, Europe, and
Japan via Continental Song City.
