Hannah Wicklund : Rockstar Sensation

Featured at Crossroads Guitar Festival 2023 in Los Angeles, Hannah Wicklund is on the road supporting her new album, The Prize, Ethereal texturing, smokey falsetto vocals, string section surprises and guitar solos that carry equal parts pain and joy are woven tastefully into what Wicklund says is“A record that just sounds like me”.

This rockstar sensation can shred…

Much like Hannah’s paintings she has become known for, each song is intricately entrancing and honored with two things seemingly lost in today’s world….patience and time. With Sam Kiszka on bass/keys/organ and Danny Wagner on drums, both of Greta Van Fleet, the songs serve as a rock ’n’ roll roadmap to a crossroads that Wicklund has been unknowingly gravitating towards for well over a decade.

The Prize is a beautiful representation of what raw feminine power and determination look, feel and sound like. Carved with pain during the most wounded and fragile point in our young heroine’s life, this record is for anyone who has ever had to look inward to move onward. “This album was so radically healing for me, and I hope it can inspire and perhaps play a role in someone else’s story,” says Wicklund. “I want us all to remember, it can be lonely and is never easy ‘doing the work’, but we are each worthy of our own love, time, and dedication.”

Hannah talked to Blues Rock Review about her new album “The Prize,” teaming up with Sam Kiszka, being invited to Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival, touring with Marcus King and more.
