Lori
McKenna comes to New Hope for the 2008 Lambertville New
Hope Winter Festial
Friday, January 25th at 8 PM. A Pre-Concert Gala at Occasions
at Union Square (6 – 7:30 PM) precedes the big event.
Lori
McKenna is a mother of five from Stoughton, Mass. (pop.
27,000), about 20 miles
outside Boston. There, she lives quietly—well, as quietly
as a house with five children can get—with her husband
of 18 years, Gene, a plumber for the local gas company. For
years she drove her kids to school in a 1999 Ford Windstar
minivan with 150,000 miles on it. It is fitting Lori entitled
her Warner Brothers debut album Unglamorous.
Lori McKenna is also an acclaimed singer-songwriter who was
thrust into the limelight last year when superstar Faith
Hill included three of McKenna’s
songs on her Number One album Fireflies, including Hill’s poignant single “Stealing
Kisses.” Hill (herself a wife and mother of three) heard in McKenna’s
work what a steadily growing audience has been hearing since her 1998 debut,
Paper Wings & Halo: an intimate understanding and honest expression of
the realities of domestic life.
Now
many more will have the opportunity to discover what Hill
did early on as
McKenna prepares to release her new album summer 2007. The
album will include 11 songs — produced by Tim McGraw
and award winning producer Byron Gallimore — prove
once again that this singer-songwriter stay-at-home mom is
the real deal; an authentic artist whose “fearless
musical snapshots lay bare the realities of small-town life
while clinging to the hope of better days,” as one
Nashville reviewer put it.
