Hi there! I am very excited to officially announce the inception of my forthcoming album: Beneath. Over the past two years, I have been writing music of which I am truly proud and have created a collection of songs that I feel represent me as a musician and as a person. This experience is what inspired the title of the album—it will take you on a journey “beneath” the surface of Hannah. I am thrilled that I will soon be able to share it with all of you.
Planning for the album has already begun. My band will consist of some of my favourite musicians: Mike Murley on saxophone, Reknee Harrett on bass, and my brother, Keith Barstow on drums. Recording will take place in April and I plan to release it in August. However, this project will be entirely self-funded, which is why I have linked my GoFundMe page above. While I plan to pour my heart and soul into this project, I need financial help to actualize it. Much of the funding will come from my own pocket, but any help I can get from friends and supporters will be so appreciated, as it will quicken the process and help create a more beautiful result. Based on the success of this fundraiser, the budget of the project will be adjusted accordingly and all funds raised will be directly put into that budget.
Any amount you can give will make a difference, even if it’s just $5. If you are able to give more, please consider the following deals I can offer:
$15 - Preorder of a CD, delivered to you, shipping included.
$20 - Preorder of a signed CD with a personalized thank you note, delivered to you, shipping included.

Sincerely,
Hannah
