Rachel Hanson is an alternative-country singer, songwriter and guitarist from Northwest Wisconsin. Her music is blatantly honest, oak-strong and country honey-sweet, taking hints of inspiration from every piece of her relatively short story. Barely 22, Hanson’s unforgettable croon and relatable yet dominant songwriting style are rapidly gaining her footing in the midwest music scene.
In 2010, Hanson moved to Stevens Point, Wis. to attend college and within six months Back Alley Blossoms was formed. She was lead singer and guitarist for the Blossoms, an all female folk/bluegrass band, from their beginning in 2011 until their final show at Winona’s Boats & Bluegrass in September 2013.
Hanson has shared the stage with or opened for William Elliot Whitmore, The Giving Tree Band, Joseph Huber, Cory Chisel, and Now, Now among many others. She plans to release her first album in the Summer of 2014.
