AS well as singing with Southbourne five-piece Paint It Blue, indie songstress Hannah Robinson is now making waves as a solo artist.
Hannah, 22, has released her debut album, Oil and Turpentine.
The album is a collection of original material, recorded at Room With A View studio in Hampshire. Hannah began singing publicly at the age of 15, and is now a professional musician.
Hannah sings with a soulful, bluesy style – likened by many to that of Janis Joplin and Eva Cassidy. She has performed at both intimate and large festivals including the Larmer Tree Festival, Mr Kyps, Bournemouth Folk Club, Great Dorset Steam Fair, New Forest Show, Bournemouth Air Festival and Freshfields festival.
Hannah writes songs from personal experiences.
Lyrics form from what she writes in notebooks, observations and feelings.
Amongst a great number of blues, soul and indie artists, Hannah cites Sam Cooke, Dan Auerbach, John Frusiciante, Willy Mason and Suzanne Vega as strong influences.
