Lori McKenna is an American folk singer and songwriter, born on December 22nd, 1968 in Massachusetts. With her heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies, she has captivated audiences around the world. Currently residing in Stoughton, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, Lori draws inspiration from her surroundings to create music that resonates with listeners.

Her unique style can be compared to other talented artists such as Cheryl Wheeler, Patty Griffin, Eliza Gilkyson, Kris Delmhorst, Dar Williams and Tift Merritt among others. Lori's music touches upon themes of love, loss and the complexities of life. Her songs have a way of connecting with people on a deep emotional level.

Having collaborated with renowned musicians like Lucy Kaplansky and Carrie Newcomer in projects like Cry Cry Cry and performed alongside artists such as Mary Gauthier and Caroline Herring, Lori has established herself as a respected figure in the folk music scene. Her talent shines through in every performance.

Lori McKenna titled her album 1988 after the year she married her husband, Gene, yet the 10 songs within also serve as a love letter to lifelong friendships, people she’s lost, and her family. Recorded with producer Dave Cobb in Savannah, Georgia, 1988 naturally has its nostalgic moments, even if not every ending is a happy one.With more of an electric edge than her past projects, 1988 feels in step with classic ‘90s albums by Sheryl Crow or Gin Blossoms, where the lyrics pulled you in as much as the melody or production. Playing together on acoustic guitars while facing one another in the studio, McKenna and Cobb tracked the album live, giving it a feeling of immediacy and authenticity.
