About
Hello Friends! I’m Hannah. As far back as I can remember, music has been with me. When I was young, in Bethesda, Maryland, I took classical piano lessons, wrote poetry, sang in all the choirs I could enter, performed in musical theater, and composed songs about fireflies and aliens with my best friends. You’d probably have found me sprawled on the floor with my ear pressed against a boom box listening to Rent, Joni, Beach Boys, Nickel Creek, or the Beatles—soaking in anything with lush vocal harmonies. I lived happily in the suburbs, but I adored the time I spent on my family’s farm and always kept it with me when I returned (it’s there in the music too, if you listen closely). I started writing my solo material after picking up the guitar at age 14, but it’s blossomed since I came to live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a town bursting with artistic creativity.
I’m moved by unexpected chord changes and those take-your-breath-away moments in a song—the ones where a melody surprises you with a clever twist and all you can do is grab the hand of the person sitting next to you. I’m still searching, but I do know one of the ways to be the best me is to understand a bit of what it means to be you. So I sing about my own personal experiences with love and life and I write about the experiences of others. I hope you’ll find some of you in my music. I’m so thankful to share these songs with you. I hope you enjoy listening.
