Album 'No LIGHT WITHOUT SHADE' OUT NOW!

A beautiful voice
— Joan Armatrading
The best voice I’ve heard in a long time
— Venetta Fields

Acclaimed for her “beautiful voice” by legendary singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading, Hannah Acfield delivers soulful roots music interwoven with luminous threads of gospel and RnB. Known for her breathtaking vocals, authenticity, and magnetic stage presence, Hannah is a rising force in Australian music.

Her debut solo album No Light Without Shade (2021) garnered praise from fans and critics alike. The Australian called it “a triumph of talent,” praising her voice as “an instrument of breathtaking dexterity.” She followed this with the striking Live at The Aviary (2023), a live album filmed and recorded in a single take—showcasing Hannah’s astonishing vocal command and classic songwriting, exquisitely supported by some of Melbourne’s finest instrumentalists.

With a career spanning four albums and three EPs (solo and with sibling duo The Acfields), Hannah has toured extensively across Australia and recently returned from performances in the UK. A captivating live performer, she draws audiences in with her warmth, otherworldly voice, musicality, and whip-smart humour. Known for creating communal moments in her shows, Hannah often teaches harmonies to the audience, inviting them to sing along and connect more deeply with the music.

Hannah has appeared at major music industry events including Focus Wales and Folk Alliance International (FAI) in Kansas City, USA. Her vocal roots trace back to gospel choir singing and training with the legendary Venetta Fields (Ike & Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones), refining the soulful depth and technical brilliance she’s now known for.

Described as “a performer who knows how to weave magic” (Jen Lush, Stone Pony), “a rising star” (Andrea Kirwin, Peace Run Records), and “album and live artist of the year” (Monique Hartman, Byron Music Festival), Hannah Acfield is a powerful artist who brings people together—through song, story and connection.

In 2025, Hannah returns with a brand new studio album—an exciting new chapter that continues to showcase her rich vocals, heartfelt songwriting.
