About this concert
Hannah's music lies in the magical borderland where innovation and imagination meet harmonies and voice, in the spirit of Patrick Watson, Nina Simone and Mercedes Sosa.
The commonality and humanity expressed in the lyrics are surrounded by a deep and delicate tonal world.

Hannah Tolf Biography
Her music comes at you in a surge of emotion. Relentless, wild and magnificent.
It sprawls and expands in natural extensions of her phenomenal voice.
The Swedish singer and composer Hannah Tolf’s artistic vision thrives and lives in a
singular hybrid music. The free energy of jazz is mixed with the emotional intellect of
soul music in mutated pop structures. She takes us deeper, closer to the point of
contact, where we can see each other in a kinder light.
In instrumental undertows of broad, throbbing bottoms, wondrous chord changes
and powerful melodies, everything is forced to the surface and taken apart.
Her voice rests or towers alternately - natural, processed or in thick unison layers.
The ruptured and forever sweet is patiently treated in words as well as in
infused acoustic and electronic soundscapes.
Improvisation is central, and the free expression is
never lost, in creation or presentation.
The critically acclaimed record debut The Park was released in 2014 on
Havtorn Records and was described by the media as ”a tribute to life and humanity”.
The album established Hannah Tolf and her quartet, with Donovan Von Martens (bass),
Jonathan Albrektson (synth, piano) and Emil Blommé (drums) on the cutting-edge
experimental and alternative music scene. The band toured frequently, nationally
and internationally, in support of the album, with shows at festivals as well as
on the jazz and pop and rock scenes all around Scandinavia, France, Italy and
Germany. Hannah Tolf is currently working on her next album with the
quartet, with a planned release in 2023 on Havtorn Records.
