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.”
