Hannah Fairlight’s latest release, Lone Wolf, marks a spirited departure from her introspective piano ballads, returning to her roots with raw, guitar-driven rock.
On Hannah Fairlight's new album, Lone Wolf, influences from Jack White, Lucinda Williams, and Ben Folds Five are palpable, reflecting Fairlight's '90s upbringing and musical inspirations. Recorded live to tape, the album captures the raw energy and intensity of a live Fairlight performance. Stripped of production gimmicks, this album showcases a fearless rock artist delivering anthems of societal, moral, and global change through her electric guitar.
Fairlight knows the value of breaking the rules to create her own path. Classically trained on piano and a devoted Tori Amos fan, she left her small-town Midwest roots for New York City, making her debut at the legendary CBGB at just 18. A staple at NYC venues like The Bitter End and Arlene’s Grocery, Fairlight's career has taken her across Europe, the UK, and Australia before she settled in Nashville. Her talent and charisma earned her a starring role in A&E’s Crazy Hearts: Nashville and later in Pitch Perfect 3, where she portrayed a Joan Jett-inspired character alongside Anna Kendrick and Ruby Rose.
