Award-winning singer-songwriter Lynn Miles will be making a stop at Char’s Landing in Port Alberni this month.
Coming from a country renowned for having outstanding singer-songwriters, Miles is considered Canadian songwriting royalty. With a JUNO Award in 2003 for Roots Traditional Album of the year, Miles subsequently scored JUNO nominations in 2011 and 2006 and took home six Canadian Folk Music Awards, including three for Songwriter of the Year.
In 2016, American artist Clair Lynch recorded Miles’ song “Black Flowers” on her Grammy-nominated album of songs penned by Canadians called North By South.
Miles’ 15th album Look for Stars took the No. 1 spot on the Euro-Americana chart for the month of August 2022.
Miles has the ability to instantly convert listeners into lifetime fans. On her newest album, tumbleWeedyWorld, she sings about the differences between people, which ultimately only demonstrates how we are so much the same.
As always, her ever-emotive voice carries each lyric with breathtaking clarity and heart-wrenching honesty.
Miles will perform Thursday, Oct. 26. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 plus fees ($25 for seniors and students) and available online at https://lynnmiles.bpt.me.
