Vibrant country artist Hannah Bethel recently kicked off National Volunteer Month at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville.
Hannah
took time out of her busy schedule last week and performed a mixture of
her own music, along with child-friendly favorites to the patients,
families and staff at the hospital. “There is nothing like performing
for these children,” says Hannah. “After knowing what these kids are
going through and when a smile spreads across their face, I get to see
the true power of music and know I have impacted them.”
Her latest country radio release, You Wanna Be My Man, is off her newest album Never Ending Sky, and is getting great recognition from the media. Nashville’s renowned music critic Robert K. Oermann said “[You Wanna Be My Man is]
pert and perky, with a girlish sweetness.The track bops with nifty
precision and perfect crunch. Well sung and well produced.” Billboard
said “Bethel proves herself to be quite the dynamic vocalist… Nashville
better make a seat for her at the table, because she’s going to be
front and center very soon!” Roughstock commented by saying
“I’ve loved this singer’s talent since hearing her first album. This
one’s ready to help Bethel breakout into the upper reaches of the
charts. She’s ready.”
After her previous releases, and music videos to accompany No Where Left to Roam, Medicine and If I Don’t Love You Anymore, Hannah’s
newest album includes 8 songs which were written/co-written by Hannah
and features top-notch musicians on the record including Adam Ollendorff
(Kacey Musgrave’s pedal steel player) and Tim Horsley (played drums
with Keith Urban, Gary Allen, Jamie O’Neal, etc). Finding a different
creative outlet with this new project, she incorporates a mix of new and
old sounds and styles from an array of musical icons, along with her
own unique touch. She brings an organic taste to her eclectic approach
to country music. Her influences include Fleetwood Mac, Miranda Lambert,
and Willie Nelson.
Hailing
from Northern Michigan, Hannah has spent the last year touring the
United States, performing shows from Alaska to New Jersey and everywhere
in between. She has shared the stage with such artists as Frankie
Ballard, Canaan Smith, Charlie Worsham, Joe Nichols, Rodney Atkins,
Trisha Yearwood and Buddy Jewell. Hannah was named one of CMA’s Who New
to Watch artists.
