Lori McKenna

Lori McKenna is one of those rare artists I admire more the deeper I dig. A folk and country songwriter out of Stoughton, Massachusetts, she won Grammys for writing "Girl Crush" and "Humble and Kind" for other people to sing, which tells you everything about her priorities. What I love is her plainspoken honesty: she mines ordinary domestic life and turns it into universal truth without a shred of sentimentality. She is a craftsperson, not a self-promoter, and that integrity is exactly why her songs keep outlasting the trends. I find her work genuinely moving.
