Ali McCormick

https://www.alimccormick.ca/Rolling her own smokes, chopping her own wood, and shining with the satisfaction of self-sufficiency, Ali embodies the world she writes about.A mechanic of the heart, she tunes emotion into melody — shifting gears with rhythmic and lyrical precision across a finely honed collection of songs. Her distinctive phrasing carries echoes of country and blues, yet remains deeply rooted in the storytelling traditions of folk.Known as the Lioness of Lanark, Ali hails from Watson’s Corners, a tiny bush community nestled in the Lanark Highlands of Ontario, Canada. Raised on an off-grid subsistence farm where creativity knew no limits, she developed a rare blend of artistic fearlessness, closeness to nature, and fierce independence that continues to define her music today. For more than a decade, Ali has toured and performed nationwide, honing her craft on stages across Canada and building a devoted following through the strength of her live performances.If you would like to support my work here on Substack and my music (https://www.briantmusic.com), please click the Buy Me A Coffee logo above and donate.
