Indie folk rock & americana
Elegant, whip-smart, and brave, multimedia artist Hannah Judson fuses Americana, folk-rock and wisps of jazz to construct narratives that hover between real and surreal. Text and projected image create a suspended space where lyrics of universal truths are distilled into crystalline gemstones, reminiscent of experimental artist Laurie Anderson and songwriter Norah Jones.
Guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and performing artist, Hannah Judson tours internationally, and has worked with many notable musicians including The Kennedys, Lola Lennox, Freda Love Smith, Miss Baby Sol, Rachael Sage, Gaelle Buswel, Suzahn Fiering, and Cindy Shapiro. She has performed at many festivals including the Folk Alliance International showcase, Los Angeles Fashion Festival, Folk You Paris, and MUSEfest in Philadelphia, London and Paris. Hannah has contributed tracks to indie films like The Bench (Ivy Bona) and Sophia’s Violin (David Smith). She wrote the score for an experimental performance based on Tim Burton’s work, “Pièces Rares du Cabinet de Curiosité du Docteur Loyali Les Enfants de Tim B" (Guerin and Bursztynowicz), and also performed as a member of Lacuna Echo, an experimental multi-media performance. She signed with Boneyard Records in Sacramento CA in 2018.
Originally from coastal Maine, Hannah also lived in Cambridge UK, Florence Italy, Lacoste France, Vienna Austria, Boston MA and San Sebastian Spain. She started her first band Salt Lick while attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She currently lives in the Paris region.
