Hannah Sage To Debut Solo Show APPALACHIAN SONGCATCHER at FringeNYC

With a voice that echoes the hills, singer-songwriter Hannah Sage brings a solo performance to the New York City Fringe by premiering her one-woman show: Appalachian Songcatcher.

This show is Hannah's story of growing up and being queer in rural Appalachia. She weaves together her banjo playing, heartfelt original compositions and the old songs of the mountains to tell the story of coming home. 

Hannah Sage is a singer-songwriter, storyteller, and multi-instrumentalist from Southern Appalachia.

She began playing banjo at the age of 10 and has since performed on renowned stages, including Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. Drawing inspiration from artists like The Indigo Girls, Sam Gleaves, The Violent Femmes and The Carolina Chocolate Drops, her music reflects both traditional and modern perspectives. 

While attending Berea College, where she majored in Appalachian Studies, Hannah performed and toured along the East Coast with the Berea Bluegrass Band, including appearances at the International Bluegrass Music Association.
