Folkies, do you know Lori McKenna?

I worked with Lori McKenna (soundman...shows in Maine mostly) a few times both before and after the Faith Hill discovery. I mean really...Oprah! She was part of the local (New England) scene of some amazing but obscure singer/songwriters in the "unpopular music business" of "folkie" clubs...and really a charmer. Suddenly WHAM...Faith Hill finds her songs somehow, and, as they say, the rest is history. She absolutely deserves it as she is a really cool musician and a sweet person.

Just running throught the threads, this leads to that that leads to this etc... I FOUND this one and for whatever reason was curious enough to check Lori out on youtube and proceeded to listen to them all, preferring her solo recordings most. I love the quality of her songs and her style just hit all my buttons. All I can say is, thanks Bander!

Isn't Lori McKenna big around the Boston scene?

Donjr...shame on you for not carefully reading my post (pearls before swine?...heh heh). Also, I'm gonna see Lori at TCAN (Natick, MA venue) soon. Here's a story for you undeserving bonehaeds...Lori was opening for Kenny White (great NYC singer/songwriter who brought guitar genius Duke Levine along at his Maine shows) at the concert series I mixed in Maine and I told her Kenny was the first opening act I ever saw get a standing ovation (at our little shows anyway). She proceeds to tell the audience that she's so happy to be opening for Kenny who she just heard (from me) got a standing "O" as an opener...of course when she finished her set the crowd jumped to their feet instantly...hilarious, and cool.
