Hannah Shira Naiman - Album Release – with Nathan Smith

Join singer-songwriter/banjo player, Hannah Shira Naiman and fiddler, Nathan Smith (The Barrel Boys, Vinta), for an evening of original songs that sound as old as time. Celebrating the release of her third solo album “The Wheels Won’t Go”, Hannah and Nathan are traveling across Ontario, captivating audiences with their close harmony wherever they go!

Hannah:

Honoured with Traditional Singer of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards for her album Know the Mountain (2016), Hannah Shira Naiman combines her powerful songwriting and impressive musicianship to deliver exciting contemporary versions of the traditional music she was raised on.

Hannah has travelled coast to coast in Canada and the US promoting Know the Mountain and her debut album, Tether My Heart (2013). Since moving to Northern Ontario four years ago, she has continued to develop her songwriting with support from the Ontario Arts Council, and grown her career as a children’s musician and music educator.

This fall, Hannah released her long-awaited third full-length album, The Wheels Won’t Go; featuring songs inspired by her move from Toronto to northern Ontario, the COVID pandemic, and her experience of new motherhood. Whether performing in concert, penning a murder ballad, or calling a square dance, Hannah is uniquely positioned to make a lasting mark on the Canadian music landscape.
