Hanna and the Blue Hearts channel a wide variety of the blues & swing, old school folk and boogie-woogie but with their own contemporary realness. Vocalist/pianist Hanna PK is the leader of the band. Her solid left hand reflects those traditional blues masters’ rocking’ and shuffling bass patterns, while her right hand grooves along, dancing all over those 88’s and she leads the band with her sultry voice.
In the summer of 2015, they released the 1st CD “Rearview Mirror” which includes Hanna’s original songs showing that she’s not only a traditionalist but also a creative songwriter. The new CD “The Blues Is Here To Stay” released in 2018, includes classic blues tunes like "Worried Life Blues" by Big Maceo Merriweather, two versions of boogie-woogie piece by Meade Lux Lewis, Honky Tonk Train, story telling, and soulful originals like Dirty Dishes and Love Keeps Walking In. |

In June 2018, Hanna and the band's guitarist Aleks won 1st place at Memphis Bound, and represented Western New York at the International Blues Challenge, in Memphis TN in January 2019 and made a strong first impression by making it to Semi-Finals.
You may see Hanna and the Blue Hearts perform as duo, trio, or quartet. As is the case with all true blues performers, they work from and in the tradition of the music while bringing their own stamp of creativity and originality to it. It’s life’s most wonderful thing to follow one’s bliss — when you hear this band do just that with such passion, it is infectious.
