Hannah Truckenbrod is a jazz vocalist that hails from Aurora, Illinois. From a young age, Hannah was immersed in the arts through school and community groups where she played multiple instruments, performed in theatre productions, and took art classes. In high school, the ambitious musician was invited to sing with the jazz ensemble, and her love for the jazz idiom was established. Hannah’s curiosity for different singing styles and the jazz idiom led her to pursue musical studies at the university level. Attending Western Michigan University on a vocal jazz scholarship, Hannah spent four years as a leading member of WMU’s premier vocal jazz ensemble, Gold Company. She appears in multiple DownBeat Student Music Award-winning recordings earning recognition for “Best Vocal Jazz Ensemble” and “Outstanding Performance.’ In 2018, Hannah was awarded for her Outstanding Solo in Gold Company's performance at the Monterey Next Generation Jazz Competition, where the group placed 1st in their division and reprised their performance at the 2018 Monterey Jazz Festival. In April of 2018, Hannah graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Studies from Western Michigan University. She studied with Greg Jasperse and Sunny Wilkinson. During that time period, the young artist performed with acclaimed musicians such as Kurt Elling, Ben Folds, Randy Brecker, Jo Lawry, Peter Eldridge, and The New York Voices. From 2018 to 2020, Hannah performed full-time as the female vocalist for The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra. The legendary band toured nationally and internationally year-round prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to singing, Hannah also ran social media accounts for the band and worked as a member of the merchandise sales team. While navigating the touring lifestyle, Hannah released "Nobody Else But Me” at the end of 2018. On her debut solo record, the young songstress delivers a collection of favorites from the Great American Songbook. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae, Rosemary Clooney, and Diana Krall, these heartfelt melodies and whimsical lyrics come together in a project of love and adoration for the jazz idiom.
