Eliza Hanson

The space in between being a child and an adult is uncomfortable and hard to navigate. On her debut EP, Any Day Now, Eliza Hanson delves into the harsh territory of one’s early twenties with great sincerity, tackling the craggy highs and lows of life with charm and vulnerability.

Her poetic lyricism and effortlessly dynamic voice drive her melodic, acoustic guitar-based folk songs. Both a subtle country twang and indie pop sensibility are present in her songs. Her music echoes Chris Pureka and Janis Ian in aesthetic and sentiment.

Eliza delivers a versatile live experience, ranging from intimate solo acoustic performances to raucous full band shows.

Eliza, a 23-year old Milwaukee native, began performing under the moniker Saint James in 2013. Since then, she has performed on the Miller Lite Oasis Stage at Pridefest, supported Chris Pureka at numerous shows, and headlined performances at Club Garibaldi’s, Riverwest Public House, The Frequency, and many other venues in Milwaukee, Madison, and Illinois.

Additionally, she has been featured on both 91.7 WSME’s weekly program, Female Focus, and Milwaukee online music publication Breaking and Entering.
