“This is a performer who knows how to weave magic and dissolve ordinary structures, like the roof of a big old show hall. Hannah Acfield stilled the room with her beautifully crafted songs carried on a resonant voice that filled every space with warmth and a powerful range and depth that is rarely heard. Complimented by sparse, warm electric guitar tones and a whip-smart humour, Hannah brought the audience to her, wrapping them in her stories and generously inviting the audience to sing along with her. And they did, and the roof lifted off. ”

“Hannah Acfield has brought a big, sweeping awakening to the Australian soul and blues landscape. Her intuitively brilliant songwriting keeps you intrigued, her incredibly soft, controlled, and compelling vocals surprise at every corner, and there’s many corners. Hannah sings from an authentically ethereal place that captivates an audience and respects an avid listener’s need for substance.

A triumphant debut album backed by personable live performances that make every audience member feel part of the live creation of exquisite musical moments. With a voice that supersedes some of our county’s most cherished stalwarts, Hannah is humbly carrying a new torch of songwriting entertainers that keeps intelligent, exciting new music accessible for everyone. It’s not just impressive, it’s an imperative contribution to the movement of new sophisticated music we’re heading toward as we grow as a culturally more enriched nation.
This is the album of the year, and the artist of the year to see live.”
