Hi everyone! This year I'll be joining the FAWM party about a week late due to previously scheduled obligations... but I DO plan to start posting some new creations after February 7!
I'm a singer-songwriter, vocalist, pianist, oboist, accordionist, worship pastor, wife, and mom-of-3-kids from Madison, Wisconsin. My wheelhouse is soulful, contemplative, or quirky-fun folk/pop music.
My debut solo project Underneath Our Surface released in 2017. Lots of the songs were written in FAWMs over the years. Check it out!

I would like to thank you so much for your beautiful and that kind comment on "Yugoslavia"! I was very happy to read it...
Thank you for stopping by and leaving such a generous comment on "Tiny Grass", Hannah. I really appreciate it.
So happy you like our harmonies! Will definitely be checking out more of your songs this month!
Seriously, your voice is one of the best I've heard. You are an AMAZING vocalist,
Thanks for the lovely comments Hannah. We use Sounds online/east West symphonic orchestra platinum.
Thank you so, so much! Always curious about people’s reactions.
Thank you for taking a listen. :)
Thanks for the comment on Aurora. Funny enough I never really listened to Arcade Fire growing up but I do get comparisons sometimes. I love Deathcab and def get that a lot on these kinds of songs. I think we have similar vibratos. But I'll take the compliment! I love how Ben Gibbard writes and produces.
Thanks for your kind and thoughtful comments on Caped Crusader :)
Hey, thanks dropping by with some super-nice word for 'God Damn, I Feel Better' - I have much to thank Mr Taro for :)
Aw thanks! There’s a duplicate on my list, so it was actually our song which got me to the 14 :)
Really blown away by your voice! Having another listen through but just wanted to say thanks for sharing, you’re amazing!
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Hannah.

Thanks Hannah for your kind comments on Love thru a broken Heart. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'm enjoying yours too, and so glad to "meet" you! :0)
Thanks for your kind comment on my First fruits song. My wife and I have been enjoying your Psalm 4 and Rosy is the view.
Glad to hear A is enjoying the Gabe song! I guess my goal is accomplished as I was hoping some of the younger listeners would get a kick out of it!
Haha! Funnily enough, I mentioned my line about birds flying for the fun of it to Karl and he went away and wrote this and I wrote my one. They are very different from one another in terms of sound, but from the same lyric idea.
COVID has brought me so much closer to nature as well which I think is coming out in a lot of FAWMers’ work.
Ha (whisper it) but that's all there is to it! I'm reading a great book atm about history of recording and so much happened through experimentation and happy accidents. The most important thing is good ideas (which you have) and talent (which you have). Keep doing what you're doing please!
So many songs about birds or trees. Default setting.
Yeah I set out to do a pretty much alt-rock/Americana tune and wrote a country song by accident. LOLOL....it's all music... ;) Fun stuff!
Thanks for checking in! Yeah life is a bit nuts at the moment, but I've got several songs in the hopper that I just need to find time to finish. Hopefully this weekend!
Hi Hannah! I wrote a song, which may *possibly* work with a load of harmonies. I'm not 100% sure, but would you like me to send over a demo to see if there's any potential for a collab? Just drop me a line if so: [email protected] :)
A couple years ago I did a FAWM piece on Psalm 31 that asks the Where are You, God? questions, and now it’s going on a friend’s album about dealing with cancer. I just wanted to add (without cluttering up the Whisper page) that to me the Whisper theme connects with something deep, and I hope you keep working on it. It’s a beautiful song. It’s a theme that’s all over the Psalms, isn’t it? so doubting trust and trusting doubt are to be embraced.
Aw, Hannah, thank you for the lovely comment and recommend! I think on that one I played everything bar the drums, which are Superior Drummer. And yes please to a collab! No idea on timings, but I'd love to get your amazing vocals on a track before end of Feb. Let me have a think :)
Hey Hannah, awesome that you randomly found me! I wasn't sure if you were doing FAWM this year! In Peace is such a relaxing song, really captures the lullaby hymn feel. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed "Skyscraper ", thank you!
Hey Hannah, I've got this hip-hop track I'm working on (first time I've ever done one) and I need a female vocalist on the chorus part. It's basically ripped straight from Psalm 23 so I thought of you. All I need is a nice soulful vocal for 8 bars and maybe a harmony if you feel it. You in? :)
Absolutely Hanna, that would be wonderful.
Thanks so much for your listen and comment! Delighted to see you here. Keep on keeping on, my friend!
Thanks for the comment, Hannah - yay, you've posted!
Hi! I am! Let's have some fun!
Hey! Looking forward to hearing your FAWM creativity and hoping we might find something to do together! Looking forward to hearing you play the low brass from your picture :)
Hey Hannah! Can't wait to hear your beautiful voice!
Can’t wait to hear your creations!
Hannah! Happy to see you here. Look forward to listening!
Hey Hannah! Likewise so excited to hear what you come up with this year. And just to hear your amazing vocals again. Speaking of which, I'm checking out Underneath The Surface. That first track is just - WOW. Kind of in love with it :)
Awesome to see you back, looking forward to hearing you bring some awesomeness to the table!
Great to see you back here. Enthusiasm more than makes up for tardiness. Happy and successful FAWMing!
Happy fawming, Hannah. I have a feeling the Madison presence here will be strong this year!
hbusse in the hizzy! ...is something I would never say. So, welcome and happy fawming to you too!
Heya Hannah! I'm back, and it's all your fault! :p hehehehe...looking forward to this year! HMU if you want B-3 on anything....
Hannah! Lovely tuba - not exactly what I think of when I think of you, but FAWM is all about branching out. Really looking forward to hearing where your muse takes you this year!
