Distinguished by Maverick Magazine as a "A Lady of Conviction", Canadian, Folk singer songwriter, Phyllis Sinclair has earned national and international attention for her songs of truth and triumph. Canada's premium Folk, Roots and World Beat magazine, Penguin Eggs described her song North Coast Fisher Wife's Prayer as "positively impressive". Her second album, Fathomless Tales from Leviathan's Hole, earned her a Canadian Aboriginal Music Award nomination for Best Folk Acoustic Album. From this album her song, The Manicure , was selected by Musicians with a Cause to be included in their "More Life in the Years" CD compilation. Her song was selected out of over 350,000 entries world wide. In 2011 she released her third album "Dreams of the Washerwomen". This album was selected by Radio Canada International's Brazilian sector as a best new recording by a Canadian artist in 2011. It also earned her a Best Folk Acoustic Album Award by the 2011 CAMA Awards. Phyllis was nominated as Female Entertainer of the Year by the 2012 Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards for her extensive national and international tours! Born on the sub-arctic shores of Hudson's Bay, Phyllis Sinclair writes with make-you-think lyrics set to a classic folk vibe. Some songs definitely touch on tough subjects, but are written with deep sensitivity. The late Ron Hynes said of her songs after hearing her in St. John's "good work", and that about sums it up! A professional performer who gives from the heart.

She rode through the streets on her two wheeled bike,
Bags full of clothes gonna take a ride,
To the kids in town, 
Pass the goods around 
Oooh, Oooh, hard-time Hannah

Down to the food bank get some grub,
Take it to the old folks, give a hug to those she finds,
She’s got a heart so kind
Oooh, Oooh, hard-time Hannah

Hard time Hannah you’ve had it rough, 
Life on the streets didn’t toughen you up 
Hard time Hannah, you won’t be beat,
By the dirt and the pain of these cold city streets

Down to the Sally-Ann find a dress
Take it to the school for the girl with less, 
That lived next door, her grads at four 
Oooh, Oooh, hard-time Hannah

Off to the shelter got to give a smile, 
Moms and the kids, they’ve been waitin’ a while, 
But they know she’ll come, with jokes and gum.
Oooh, Oooh, hard-time Hannah

Hard time Hannah you live here too
You know what its like, what's a girl to do?
Help where you can and give from you cup
You might not win, but you wont' give up

Off to the soup kitchen, grab a bite , 
See if her friends all made it through the night 
She hopes they did, ‘specially that kid
Oooh, Oooh, hard-time Hannah

Night is fallin' got to get back home, 
All is well for those who roam
These city streets, with less to eat than 
Oooh, ooohh Hard time Hannah

Hear the words of the preacher man, 
Says she sings with the angel band
She died last night, without a fight
Oooh, Oooh, hard-time Hannah

Now who’s to say who’s rich or poor, 
Those with nothing can give much more 
When hearts are free, drop the scales and see like
Oooh, Oooh, hard-time Hannah 

World was a better place with Hard time Hannah 
Who will replace Hard-Time Hannah?
