Hannah Madison Taylor Interview

By

This is our interview with singer/songwriter Hannah Madison Taylor promoting her latest four song EP.  Hannah delighted Robin and I with her music, her upbeat interview, and her enthusiasm for her future.  Here is what others have said about Hannah:

In an industry where stars rise and fall at an equally rapid pace, Hannah Madison Taylor has the stage presence and vocal sound destined for longevity. Her music is an original and melodious blend of pop and soul bursting from an unassuming girl-next-door meets retro ingenue.

As a singer and songwriter, one can hear in Hannah’s music the influence of a variety of artists. From The Beatles and James Taylor to Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow, Hannah’s musical arrangements are original creations of many well-loved sounds. Pure entertainment -Hannah Madison Taylor is a delight as a performer, a musician, a songwriter and an entertainer.

Whether she is driving the crowd to the dance floor with her original song, ”So Killer Sexy”; enticing the listener to a moment of quiet repose with the soft vulenerability of “It Is What It Is” and “Goodbye This Time ”; or in the studio writing for another artist, there is a luminous quality to her work.

Note: I played the incorrect cut off of Hannah’s CD and identified it by the wrong name.  (Sorry about that!)
