My name is Hannah Bethel and I am a singer/songwriter. I have been pursuing my career for the past six years, touring around the Upper-Midwest promoting my original music. For the most part we’ve flown solo, my guitar and I; my one, unfailing companion. But I have had the privilege of working with many fantastic musicians over the years, such as The Weekend Cowboy Band, Mark Lucier, Paul Smith, Ray Bosley, Todd Brassard, Tim Sliva and Alex Geborkoff to name a few.
In 2007 I released my first solo album called “Watch Me Fly”, which is available for purchase and download internationally through iTunes, cdbaby.com. The CD is available at several music stores & businesses in the Midwest.
For as long as I can remember, music has always been my everything; my dreams, goals and purpose. Nothing feels quite as right as music. I spent my early childhood in dance and musical theatre. I knew so soon that I needed to be on stage. It called to me with a fiery passion that to this day I cannot quite explain. The closest I can get is that I suppose some people just know what they want; what they need to find completion, and there can be no persuasion. I feel so fortunate to be one of those people.
When I was 13, I started to learn guitar and within a week had written my first song, “Watch Me Fly”. It fell out of me so quickly, it was as if it had been meaning to come out for a long time, but was just waiting for the opportune moment. Everything has snowballed from that moment. Since then I have shared the stage with Joe Nichols, Rodney Atkins and sang the National Anthem before a SHeDAISY concert, participated in three compilation CDs and been accepted into Belmont University’s Commercial Voice program.
I love science fiction novels. I am trying so hard to learn piano but my hands have a hard time keeping up with my brain. I also LOVE espresso but the caffeine dries out my vocal chords, so I must refrain…I am currently working through my quarter life crisis. I LOVE TO SING. I talk to my car when I need a friend. Sometimes I wish I was a faerie. I kiss my guitar good night after a good show. Summer is my favorite season. I love the sting of guitar strings against my fingers tips after hours of practicing. I am not afraid.
I am currently living in Nashville, TN pursuing a record deal.
My song "Forgetting to Forget" was selected by Mike Pinder (singer/songwriter & founder of the "Moody Blues") as a Semi-finalist in his Band Wars songwriting contest.
