Influences
Ken Stringfellow – Singer/Songwriter The Posies/REM/The Disciplines etc says this about Hannah's debut release…
‘Hannah Gillespie is adding twists of cabaret, jazzy far-out-ness, and more to her countrified roots. Here we find her in exploration mode, growing and taking in new elements. An indication of talent acquired, with further indications of great things to come.’
This album encompasses a vast array of musical styles and influences in a collection of beautifully crafted songs brought to life by some of Canberra’s finest players. Hannah maintains that pursuing song writing was never the plan but creativity is a powerful force as is the urge to write This project is a testament to that journey and as she says ‘There is no greater source of inspiration for a songwriter than a broken heart, a lost soul, a shit party or a bad day at the races and that is Growing Up Stupid.
Thanks for being a friend. May you have a Happy, Healthy, Warm and Safe Holiday Season and the new year brings you success. May all the hungry get food and warmth. Global respectabillity for all of humanity and world peace. Always help those in need. Stay cool my friend! Respectfully, Buddy Lee Lewis
