Why you should see their show: Hannan and her band try to make their show a little different. “We aren’t just up on stage playing music. I make it personal.

As the lead singer and front person for the band Hannan provides high energy in her shows.  “I jump around, dance and really put on an actual show not just sing and play music.”
