Looks like Hannah hasn’t posted anything about this yet (on here) so I will.
First a newspaper article (pity they couldn’t get the name right!):
via ORANGE ARTS NOW: INDIE-FOLK HANNAH’S RETURN TO CANOWINDRA.
Indie-folk artist Hannah Sutherland will be returning to her music writing alma mater next week to highlight the end of season gathering of folk@canowindra
Hannah lived in Canowindra for three years, during which she “began writing songs in earnest,” says folk@canowindra’s brainchild, Nerida Cuddy, another noted singer-songwriter who’s been running the folk, poetry and acoustic music club at Taste Canowindra for the past two years.
Nerida, who also teaches music at the local primary school, describes the sessions, held on the first Sunday of every month, as “family friendly and open to anyone who likes or plays acoustic music.
“We get a lot of teenagers coming in who like to play their acoustic works for us.
“And we’re getting regionally popular, with people coming from Cowra, Orange, Forbes, Portland and Bathurst to enjoy our shows.”
Hannah Sutherland’s return to Canowindra – she now lives in Newcastle – coincides with the final work on her first studio EP, with the help and guidance of Mike McCarthy. She’s hoping to release the album early next year.
Says Nerida: “Her acoustic songs are a melodic meandering of introspection and the search for greater meaning and truth, with influences ranging from Sufjan Stevens to Bjork.” Some of the tracks from the EP can be enjoyed on her website, www.myspace.com/hanwenafen.
And the digital pre-release of the ep is finally available for sale online. Click the album cover below to check out the site.
