Lorna Hunt

From childhood onward, singer/songwriter Lorna Hunt sought refuge in music amid constant relocations that left her without any fixed residence, treating sound itself as her sole anchor. She and her younger brother Laird achieved early mastery of the guitar, after which Hunt joined church and school choirs during high school while also working as a digital arena composer. Once she enrolled at Boulder’s Naropa Institute in Colorado, her artistic trajectory crystallized; she completed a music degree there, then devoted an additional year to the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, where her assurance deepened. Armed with these credentials, she set out to record an album, though her devotion to folk music ultimately rendered formal schooling secondary. Her first project, All in One Day, appeared in 1998 and drew critical notice for its cinematic scope. Four years afterward she issued Sentimental Bedlam, co-produced by Dave Willey of Boulder’s Hamster Theatre.
