Hanna Doreen Brown is an integrative artist from Rochester, NY who brings innovation to the music she writes and to the spaces in which she performs. Drawing from a deep love for music history, Hanna writes music that reflects her roots in classic country and folk music, but that reaches toward more modern and indie influences as well. Her love for music of the past and present can also be seen in her daily work. Hanna performs covers and originals in Northern Colorado senior care facilities and has built her nonprofit program, Sound Affects, around this work. At night, on the weekends, and on tour, Hanna performs the same music for public audiences, constantly trying to draw connections between traditional and modern music. Hanna hopes that as she continues to write songs, she’ll capture the stories of the wise, learn a little about a lot, and break down some stereotypes in the process.

Where did the music begin? “I inherited a guitar from my grandfather when I was 19 years old.  My older brother, Oscar, taught me a few chords and the rest is history, my history with music. Music has wrapped me up, brought me to the staggering tops of mountains, and to the soul soothing comfort of the ocean. Through the hardest times in my life, it’s carried me like a wise mage, reminding me that character and creativity are mine alone. Music has escalated me to glorious heights and been the foundation of unbreakable bonds with friends that I’ll have until the end of the journey.
