We had an amazing chat with Hannah Juanita about her second full length album, "Tennessee Songbird," (released 8/30/24), the sense of community she found when she moved back to Nashville, and touring with her dog Loretta.
Hannah Juanita recorded ‘Tennessee Songbird’ at The Bomb Shelter in Nashville, TN; her second full-length album following 2021’s ‘Hardliner’. Produced by Mose Wilson, the album features an all-star Nashville band with Bruce Bouton, Dennis Crouch, Chris Scruggs, Fred Eltringham, Riley Downing (The Deslondes), and more.
Hannah Juanita left her home state of Tennessee in her early twenties to break out of a stifling culture of conformity and meet the world. She travelled in search of herself, worked odd jobs, and spent countless nights singing fireside under the stars with friends, never pursuing music as a career.
Eventually, Hannah made it back to Tennessee, landing in Nashville with nothing but herdog Loretta, her guitar, and a handful of heartbreak songs. She started singing around town and quickly became a staple live performer and a highly respected vocalist in the traditional country scene in Music City, known for her classic, old-school sound.
