A host of influences have shaped Hannah’s music-making: a Midwestern upbringing with lots of singing around the piano. A progressive education at a Big Ten university. Years of leading community worship gatherings with combo bands and choirs. Classical training as a vocalist, pianist, oboist, and choir director. A love for old musicals. A spouse who introduced her to Weezer, Green Day, and Pearl Jam.

Underneath Our Surface, Hannah’s debut solo EP, is a collection of songs about the hidden desires, wounds, and memories underneath the surface of our ordinary lives.

Hannah and her husband Will live in Madison, Wisconsin with their three exuberant little daughters.
