Jennifer Hanson Biography

Nashville has enjoyed its share of female success stories over the past few years, but it’s been a long time since country music has seen and heard the likes of Jennifer Hanson. With the soul of a gifted and seasoned songwriter, the voice of an angel, and a distinctly female point of view, Hanson comes to the table with an unusually potent mix reminiscent of great artists from Linda Ronstadt to Emmylou Harris, not coincidentally two of her biggest musical heroes. She’s been preparing for this moment for years, having lived a life that gives new meaning to the term "artist development." The only child of two working musicians, Hanson was raised in a lower income neighborhood in La Habra, just south of Los Angeles. From the first, she was indeed exposed to a wide range of influences, not all of them musical.
