Lori McKenna is her name. A momma of five, married to a plumber, Lori McKenna is the stand-out best of the best, tipper-topper talent in Boston-based singing-songwriting. Carol and I will be seeing Lori perform this evening. I’ll try to sneak some photos and maybe even a snippet of video.
Here’s how Lori looked for a long time…
… and here she is now, all dolled up after going a bit more over to Country from Suburban Folkie. Personally, I prefer her rumpled “Mom-who-rushed-out-of-the-house” look.
In 2002, when Lori was first catching some national attention, a Boston TV station produced this profile of her.
Watching her sing while her baby daughter bounces is just too cute! Say, that could have been me about 12+ years ago: three boys running in and out of the house and a little girl baby, except Molly hated her bouncer, and, of course, I can’t sing a note! 😉 Enjoy the show!
