Hana Stretton

Hana Stretton is an accomplished Australian-British multi-instrumentalist, songwriter & producer. Born and raised on a farm in New South Wales, Hana's early life was steeped in natural beauty and isolation, which has become the influence for much of her music. Her work reflects a deep connection to her roots. Hana made her debut record, Soon , outside, in still moments after fires and wild storms had raged through her home in the Australian bush. Completely isolated with just her beloved cows and a few instruments, recording music became a way to pass the hours. The album was self-released in January 2023, with a vinyl run by boutique Australian label brierfield flood press. The following year, P.W. Elverum & Sun (the private press of Phil Elvrum aka Mount Eerie) re-issued a special edition vinyl, selling out almost instantly. Upon release, Elvrum explained his admiration for Hana’s music: “ I hear an artist who has entered completely into the stream where creation originates […] Hana Stretton has truly recorded the deep flourishing sound of a quiet listening mind in full blossom. ”
