Southern country rock chanteuse Hannah Aldridge announces July UK dates
Hannah Aldridge is steeped in the music of Nashville and Muscle Shoals, the two cities where she was raised, as her father Walt Aldridge - a Muscle Shoals legend and much-honoured Nashville songwriter, musician and producer - plied his craft. Her music has an edge and her forthcoming trip to the UK is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to embrace the gritty tales featured on her acclaimed ‘Razor Wire’ album which she has tagged ‘Dark Americana’.
Razor Wire, produced in Nashville by Chris Mara features 9 originals plus Hannah's haunting re-imagining of fellow Shoals' native Jason Isbell's ‘Try’. Joining Hannah on the album are Andrew Sovine - electric & acoustic guitars/lap steel, Brad Pemberton - drums & percussion, Lane Baker - bass/background vocals, Andrew Higley - keyboards/saw, James LeBlanc - background vocals & Dylan LeBlanc - background vocals/lead guitar on ‘Lie Like You Love Me’, while on ‘Try’", Hannah is backed by Isbell's band - The 400 Unit - Derry DeBorja (Keyboards), Jimbo Hart (bass), Chad Gamble (drums) and Sadler Vaden (guitar).
