Hemma is a nickname for Hannah Hebl who comes from a family of singers and has spent the last decade carving her own path as a songwriter in the country, folk and jazz scenes of the Upper Midwest. Sometimes with a full band, many times a soloist, she’s known to spellbind the audience with a stunning voice that paints a pastoral longing passed down from artists like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. She is finding her voice as a balladeer with lyrical prayers disguised as songs that offer protection in reincarnation, sustained love over distance and the courage to recognize ancestral addiction as a shadow to befriend and a curse to break.
She has most recently opened for
S. Carey
Barbaro
The Cactus Blossoms
Her debut full length album Abalone Sky will be released in November and was produced by
Sean Carey in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
