Subversive Sunday: Live Music from Tony Hannah
Tony Hannah was raised in Knoxville, TN and began performing music at an early age at family gatherings and church. Although she relocated and spent her young adult life in California and New York performing in local coffee shops and bars, she still draws from her Southern roots for inspiration. Tony worked with producer, James Riotto, to record her latest EP “Premonitions”. It's a gorgeously spacious album with understated arrangements and a hint of southern nostalgia, as Music Mecca blog states, "It’s comfortingly cohesive and as easing as a lullaby, making it feel like one big aural hug. Tony Hannah’s country side shines through in her honest lyricism." In 2022 she relocated to Nashville, TN where she frequently plays out on Broadway as well as local venues in town. This year she recently recorded her first ever full-length record with producer, Elijah Ocean. It is set to be released sometime early 2025.
