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 neverending. 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. With years of national touring under her belt, opening for acts like Margo Price, Jesse Daniel, and Summer Dean, Hannah is ready to do it all on “Love It Or Leave It”, soon to be released in Spring 2026. 

​

Produced and recorded in Nashville, Tennessee with Elijah Ocean at Back Cabin Sound, the 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; drummer Aaron Goodrich (Colter Wall, Zach Top), fiddler Mary Meyer (Allison Kraus, Molly Tuttle), multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Long, and mixer Buster Allen (Garth Brooks). 

​

The entire record was written by Hannah herself and a few trusted co-writers (Elijah Ocean, Brennen Leigh, Stefanie Joyce), with one special, notable exception, her late Uncle AJ Masters, who penned songs for Randy Travis and Faith Hill in the 90’s. “My uncle definitely planted the seed for me to move to Nashville, although I didn’t know it at the time,” says Hannah. “Singing songs with him around the campfire, I never thought I’d have the chance to record one of his in Nashville.” She lends her piercing, soft-spoken vocals to “Old Pair of Shoes,” a hit song he wrote for Randy Travis in 1992. She’s more than overjoyed to carry on the family tradition of songwriting and musicianship as she releases her first ever full length debut record “Love It Or Leave It”.
