We’ve been privileged to have Hannah as part of our community. She has a powerful voice and a commanding presence on stage that most of us can only envy. Her lyrics are nuanced, and only benefit from additional listens. We are very excited to hear her ambitious DIY project this March.

Biography

Hannah Fairchild moved from Minnesota to New York City in 2005 with the intent of becoming an actress… only to become a barista. Two spells of near homelessness, tens of excruciating auditions, and millions of cappuccinos later, she realized that an acting career did not mesh well with her artistic sensibilities and intense dislike of being bossed around.

After purchasing the cheapest guitar available to her with her 2006 tax return (rock on, IRS), Hannah began to write songs and perform them in accommodating bars around the city, garnering comparisons to Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon.

In summer of 2009, Hannah began work on her debut album Paper Kingdoms. The album was recorded entirely in her apartment, and but for one piano line (courtesy of Duck Zimmerman) she arranged and performed the album herself. After teaching herself Pro Tools and bass, blowing out the hard drives on two separate computers, and breaking her right ankle en route to the Apple Store, she is pleased to announce that it is finally finished.

An All Girl Lineup at Bar 4 will mark the album’s release on March 31st. Hannah will be joined by feature performers Annie Ragz, Debbie Miller, and Ten Antenna.

Hannah currently resides in Brooklyn, and gets into as much trouble as she can afford in order to acquire more material for future songs.
