Tony Hannah is a Country Artist for the girls who hold it all together; juggling men who act like boys, flings that end in ghosting, late night gigs, and the grind of long shifts that barely cover the rent. She draws on the everywoman idols of the genre–Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Linda Rondstadt–but updates the tropes for twenty-first century malaise. Her characters aren’t mere disgruntled housewives; Hannah croons about women who are “bringing home the bacon, and frying it too.”

"Women have been working overtime,” says Tony Hannah. “From pulling double shifts to mending heartbreak after heartbreak… it feels never-ending. We do it all, alone.” A preacher’s daughter from East Tennessee, Hannah is no stranger to hard work. It’s a work ethic that’s criss-crossed her across the country, doing everything from farm-labor gigs in California, to high-fashion modeling in New York City, to every odd job in between. This duality is on full display on her debut record, "Love It Or Leave It".

Produced and recorded in Nashville, Tennessee with Elijah Ocean at Back Cabin Sound, her soon to be released debut album balances slick 90’s country production (Zach Top, The Judds) with vintage cool-girl nostalgia (Emmylou Harris, Rosanne Cash, Kathy Mattea) and blue collar lament (Bruce Springsteen, Lucinda Williams). Hannah’s country-glam sensibility is supported by an all-star band and with carefully crafted songs by a few trusted co-writers (Elijah Ocean, Brennen Leigh, Stefanie Joyce).
