I happened to catch Lori McKenna at the Circle of Friend's Coffeehouse in March of 2001 when she opened for Kevin So.
She has a wonderful voice and at that time was writing some great songs. She has continued to do so. Working and building a following of those who really appreciate her goodness.
Step forward a few years. Some one heard her and shared her songs with Faith Hill. Now Faith has released a new album where she sings three of Lori's songs; “Fireflies”, “If You Ask”, and “Stealing Kisses”. Oprah has scheduled Faith and Lori for an upcoming show. Lori's album "Bittertown" is being re-released by Warner Brother Records (Faith's record company).
Lori is trying to keep it all in perspective. She is humble about her family life (5 kids and husband) singing and writing about life.
You'll hear more of Lori. She is good.
I am happy that her time has arrived. I trust it will last awhile.
