Description
"Queen's Hotel" is John Wort Hannam's fourth full-length recording and second release on Black Hen Music, a follow up to his critically-acclaimed 2007 album "Two Bit Suit". Once again Juno award winning Steve Dawson takes the helm producing 11 tracks of authentic Canadiana folk/roots music.
"Queen's Hotel" was recorded live off the floor at Vancouver's The Factory. Musicians sat in one room facing each other in a circle and played the songs – no bed tracks, no click, and no overdubs except for a few harmonies.

With many of the same players as his previous recording: John Wort Hannam on guitar and tenor guitar, Steve Dawson on dobro, national, and weissenborn, John Reischman on mandolin and mandola, Rob Becker on upright bass, Geoff Hicks on percussion, and Jeanne Tolmie,Tyler Bird, and Jenny Whiteley on backing vocals, "Queen's Hotel" has a pared down and subtler sound compared to Wort Hannam's previous recordings and leans more on the folkier side of the folk/roots spectrum.

Thriving on live performance, John Wort Hannam is truly happy when he is on the road playing and connecting personally with an audience. He tours extensively in Canada and the US. Recently he returned home from a highly successful mainstage set at the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas and will now spend the summer traveling, playing and gearing up for a fall release of "Queen's Hotel" that will take him across the country and into the US. 2009 Grand Prize Winner - Calgary Folk Music Festival Songwriting Competition.
