"Your Next Lover" from Unglamorous

Lori McKenna has performed on many stages. Having begun her career in the Boston coffeehouse scene, her 1998 self-released debut, Paper Wings & Halo earned her performances at the Newport Folk Festival and Lilith Fair. 2001's Pieces of Me took her further from home with headliners in Nashville, New York, Philadelphia and throughout the northeast. When 2004's Bittertown caught the attention of Faith Hill, McKenna joined the most successful concert tour in country music history, McGraw and Hill's Soul2Soul Tour. With strong support and the release of Unglamorous in 2007, McKenna appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Good Morning America, the CMA's and on country music's most famous stage- the Grand Ole Opry.

So what's next for this mother of five from Stoughton, MA? The answer is simple- a return to her roots. After a year-long hiatus from touring, spent penning songs for the likes of Tim McGraw, Mandy Moore and Faith Hill, the prolific singer songwriter, armed with a collection of new songs, returns to the road and the fans who inspire her. "I miss performing in intimate venues, where the audience can read you. That's where you have to be the most honest," McKenna admits.

"...grainy-sweet voice and warm, intuitive writing...." - USA Today

"... a perky, sharp twang reminiscent of Dixie Chick Natalie Maines...and a gift for detailed storytelling." -Rolling Stone

"McKenna has a knack for aching melodies and telling details...." - NY Times

"How the songs are recorded isn’t nearly as important as the emotional octane in her voice and the way she drips details like candle wax, searing what she sees into your flesh. That voice-a silvery wisp, then a deeply guttural thrust-carries power and nuance with equal ease...."
- American Songwriter
