Hannah’s music balances on the tightrope between Americana and lyrical folk-pop. Her guitar playing is drenched in simple cowboy chords and long-lost melodies, with driving rhythms and relaxing patterns. It is the foundation for her lyrics which are inspired by 1960s folk and spoken word poetry. Full of characters and situations, each song is like a page from a novel.

“Heart Hitter” Single

A blues-influenced song by Hannah, performed by Dean Haas (Drums), Martin Lang (Harp).
