John Wort Hannam has been on his folk and roots-fueled troubadour journey for two decades, spinning song writing gold from the chaff of the lives he has encountered and those within his fertile imagination. Twenty-two years in, he shows no sign of slowing down. In fact, he’s gaining both momentum and a wider audience, winning two 2023 Canadian Folk Music Awards for Solo Artist of the Year and Contemporary Album of the Year. Add to this a Juno Award nomination, a Kerrville New Folk Win, a previous Canadian Folk Music Award, and it’s easy to see why audiences and critics alike hear something special in his narrative and lyrically driven songs. Effortlessly mixing rich and clear timbered vocals with lyrics that tug at the heart, his sound is both unique and familiar.
Born on the island of Jersey in the UK, he immigrated to Canada at the age of nine. He discovered the guitar and his knack for writing songs in his early thirties while working as a teacher on the Kainai Nation in Blackfoot country. In 2001, John quit his teaching job and made himself a promise – he would try his hand at writing songs for 10 months or until his employment insurance ran out. When time was up, he had a handful of songs. They became his first recording, released in 2002. Twenty-two years later, John is recognized as one of the best folk roots songwriters in Alberta and has released 8 full length recordings.
Opening for John is the incredibly talented Drew McIvor.
With his trusty six-string, this charismatic crooner performs with a masterful simplicity inviting audiences not only to listen, but truly share the musical experience. His deep affection for his craft is apparent at every turn; you can feel his heart is in the music, and it is contagious. Well known in the area, Drew is versatile, mult-talented and will be a perfect complimentary act in what promises to be a phenomenal evening!

Anne will highlight the people and places that provided meaning and motivation for her work. In addition to the surprises, challenges and frustrations, along the way, Anne will also share wondrous moments of joy, as well as reasons for optimism in trying times.
Known for her passion, tenacity and creativity in the service of Ontario’s biodiversity, Dr. Anne Bell’s Conservation of Wild Species and Wild Spaces in Ontario will be felt for generations. Many environmentalists who trained under Anne will continue that legacy.

She also mentored many interns who have developed into solid professionals in many nature organizations.
Now retired, she enjoys spending much more time outdoors, birding, travelling, learning Spanish and visiting with family and friends.
The Owen Sound Field Naturalists initiated this special event on Earth Day 2016, and has featured such iconic Champions for Nature as John Riley, Doug Larson, Jarmo Jalava, Beth Gilhespy, Hap Wilson and Lenore Keeshig.
