Music that holds you while you cry: Hannah Sandoz weaves tender lyrics and lush soundscapes for guitar, vocals, and laptop.
​
Sandoz first started writing songs as a teen, building their first portfolio with scrappy recording techniques and candid lyrics. Studying music composition and production at the Oberlin Conservatory forged their songwriting into a reverent practice exploring tenderness, shared experiences, and emotional memory. Using time-based digital effects, Sandoz's voice swells gradually, building dense textures that balance harmony and dissonance with ease. In addition to touring several times a year, they're well-established in the Chicago indie scene, opening local shows for touring acts such as Ben Seretan and American Poetry Club.
​
Hannah Sandoz’s ethereal vocals and gauzy instrumentals take on a rural allure that will resonate with fans of Adrianne Lenker, Grouper, or Animal Collective.​
