Hannah Kaminer

“Among the region's bright young voices." -- Blue Ridge Public Radio “I was instantly drawn into the warmth and purity of Hannah’s music. Her songwriting lacks pretension. It is easy to hear the truth in it. Her voice is totally her own, there are no forced notes or false twang. The world needs more of this. ” -- Amanda Platt, The Honeycutters “A folk singer with a voice like few others." -- Acoustic Asheville (Mountain Xpress) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hannah Kaminer is a folk/Americana artist based in Asheville, NC.
