Hannah White will be touring in Ireland during March 2025, on a short 5-date Tour. It will be a duo tour, with Hannah on guitar and vocals, and Kieron Marshall will be on electric guitar and vocals. Defiantly working class, Hannah White in full, proud council estate swagger, is hitting the road again in 2025 and baring all. Hannah has battled her way to gaining a loyal following of fans around the UK, whilst maintaining a wholly independent approach to her career. Her music is influenced by country, blues, folk, pop and soul but has a fresh sound coupled with a social
conscience that remains distinctly her own. With a voice that can switch from a sweet Nashville ballad to a heartfelt and reflective song full of blues, her songs draw from a rich well of life experiences and have been heard on the national airwaves of BBC Radio 2, Amazing Radio, Chris Country Radio as well major regional UK radio shows such as; BBC London, BBC Kent, BBC
Merseyside, BBC Manchester & BBC Introducing as well as being played on international TV several times on the ‘Keep It Country’ show. The artist Holler Magazine described as “Americana’s answer to Mike Skinner. More Patsy Palmer than Cline” began 2023 by earning an Americana Music Association UK Best Song Award. She released her album ‘Sweet Revolution’ in late 2023, earning her a record deal and a publishing deal. She was featured on the cover of US industry magazine Amped with the album as a new artist. The album made it into Independent Album Breakers chart at #12, Americana Records Charts at #17 & #14 in the Official Independent Album Charts.
Her typically British, self-deprecating humour does nothing to diminish the emotion which Acoustic Magazine described as “arresting and wholly believable”. All of that is a long way, and yet a short hop, from Sidcup Kent, where Hannah was born and started picking up instruments at an early age. “I played piano and violin,” she says. “I got to learn because our borough gave free music lessons to families on benefits. I first picked up a guitar because my cousin had one and showed me a few chords. Although I couldn’t do much on it, I ended up playing it more than the other instruments because of how portable it was and great to write with.” White remains passionately committed to the idea of music as a force for good, and that genuine belief, which reaches far beyond her own musical ambitions. “Music has such a power over me” she says. “It got me through some of the darkest times and I don’t know what I’d be doing without it. I feel so strongly that if everybody had that opportunity, so many people’s lives could be transformed.” It’s that down-to-earth sincerity that is stamped on Hannah’s personality just as it is on her music. When people talk about her songs, they talk about her combination of autobiographical honesty, social conscience and joyful musicality, and that conversation is getting louder all the time. Hannah White her band delighted audiences throughout
