Hannah Dasher

Hannah Dasher is wary of earning the stereotypical title of Southern belle, but admits she likes to fry chicken...Her music is equally seasoned with the same country soul. - Emily Goldman, Savannah Morning News Though Dasher’s influences span from Motown to Bonnie Raitt blues, artists like Patsy Cline, Trisha Yearwood and Dolly Parton have had the greatest impact on her vocal style. She puts herself into a traditional category of country music artists. “I’m just a down-home girl,” says the 22-year-old aspiring singer and songwriter from Springfield, Ga. “I’m not your typical teeny-bopper blonde that fits into the new pop-culture mode that is so much a part of the country music scene.” Dasher’s vocal trills, bubbly personality and tendency to “cut up” on stage have often landed her many comparisons to Dolly Parton. Perhaps the greatest compliment came last fall when she was cast as Patsy in the historic Savannah Theatre’s January production, “A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline”. “Hannah was terrific in the role,” said producer, Mike Meece. “The show was a HUGE success!” As a young girl, Hannah developed the unique ability to mimic Cline’s voice. For her, this was truly a “dream job”. While she has been singing and performing since the age of four, her knack for songwriting was discovered only a few years ago. Among her list of admired songwriters are Merle Haggard, James Taylor, Dolly, Vince Gill, and Alan Jackson. Hannah looks forward to every new opportunity to entertain and write music. She thanks God for her gifts and the inclination to share those gifts with others.
