Hannah Jane Kile

Hannah Jane Kile’s blend of folk, jazz, classical and pop is delivered through a number of different vehicles: as a member of the highly acclaimed folk trio Dear Darling; as vocalist/instrumentalist with the seven-piece ensemble Solabel; and as a solo artist with four self-penned albums.
The daughter of a jazz musician raised by grandparents until age seven, hers was a childhood filled with intergenerational musical influences that ranged from Grand Ole Opry stalwarts Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton to jazz icons Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. Finding refuge in musical theatre during her teenage years, Kile insists, taught her the importance of being “a musical chameleon” if she was to survive in her chosen field.
Recognized for more than her considerable vocal skills, Hannah Jane Kile’s proficiency as an acoustic and electric guitarist has been lauded by both peers and critics who have often called her “a player who sings, rather than a singer who plays.” Follow that up with classical voice training and an enduring infatuation with the music of Steven Sondheim, and you have the genre-defying voice that is Hannah Jane Kile.

In college Kevin started playing music with his brothers -- eventually leading to the formation of the Marcy Brothers band. They secured two major label record deals with Warner Brothers Records and Atlantic Records, yielding a top 40 song with Cotton Pickin’ Time and three #1 videos -- each remaining at #1 for 10 weeks. During their time with Atlantic records, the Marcy Brothers recorded  Achy Breaky Heart  (before Billy Ray Cyrus did). Thereafter, Kevin focused on his songwriting. He went on to write for three major publishing companies in Nashville, resulting in a body of work comprising of hundreds of songs, several of which have been cut by various artists. Kevin’s influences run from Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash to Buddy Holly, and James Taylor, with some additional influence from Texas Blues.
