JOE’s Song Of The Day #644: Ethan Hanna ‘Perfect’

Eric Lalor

Ethan Hanna

Ethan Hanna releases his debut single.

Ethan Hanna is a native of Lisburn who has just released his debut single from his forthcoming debut album. He has a rich mature voice with definite echoes of Springsteen in there. No surprise there as he cites both Springsteen and Brian Fallon as major influences.

Hanna twists a traditional Americana style around haunting, whispered lyrics which reminisce about loves lost and found, family and growing up in Northern Ireland.

‘Perfect’ is the lead single off Hanna’s debut album, ‘Welcome To The Batlands’, which has been several years in the making. A regular performer around Belfast, Hanna’s followers have so far been starved of recorded material, despite regular pleas to release music.
