A Spoonful Of Poison - chaotic OPEN MIC
performance - all welcome
Monday 26th May 2008
This weeks guest performers:
HANNAH HARRIS
Raised from a baby on the stage of a folk band; a misspent
youth listening to Bristol trip-hop and a final hook up with
an alt-country loving, jazz playing guitarist, Hannah has been
provided with a rich source of influence on which to draw. She
has managed to glue this all together with beautiful lyrics,
great hooks and a stunning voice. Drawing from the dark, the
mundane and the cinematic Hannah has put together a sound that
is in one part Massive Attack and one part Ray Lamontagne.
In the past year Hannah has gigged regularly in London and
other major UK cities getting an excellent response from audiences
and promoters alike. She has supported the Mercury signed band
Kubb, recorded her first video and just finished a UK Tour.
She has been featured several times on various BBC radio stations
having had tracks broadcast, undertaken interviews and recorded
live sessions.
Her voice has been likened to Eva Cassidy through Bjork and
Morcheeba to Joni Mitchell. This may seem a diverse collection
of artists, but what links them is that they all possess pure,
beautiful, original voices that brim with personality.
