Hannah Cameron

Hannah Cameron is renowned for her ability to knock the wind out of you with her muscular guitar and a voice that could melt tar. There’s an unwavering strength to her poetry, matched by the weighty warmth of a baritone Gretsch, and an effortless complexity to her craft. 

Her long awaited third album Holding Pattern was released in September 2023 to widespread acclaim - receiving  Double J Spotlight Album of the Week, PBS Album of the Week and an Australian Music Prize nomination. The album traces a flight path over Cameron’s recurring tendency to wait for someone else to lead the way forward: out of a relationship, out of lockdown, back to herself. 

Whether buoyed by her live band or alone with a guitar and her thoughts, Cameron’s music carries audiences through pin-drop moments of dignified storytelling and intricate instrumentation. So honed is her playing and poetry in fact, that “I don’t know how she does it” is a common whisper passed among audiences at her shows. And control – of her soaring voice, her deft guitar lines and her powerful narratives – is a thread that runs deep.
