What’s written on you? That was a question Northwest Ohio singer/songwriter, Hannah Beck, asked judges, attendees, fans, and campers during her Music Tournament performance at the 2015 Creation Sonshine Festival in Somerset, WI, July 18.
It’s the same question that sparked the inspiration for Beck’s title track for her latest album, which was released nationally July 14.
Hannah’s song, “Written On You” plus the others in her 25 minute set the morning of July 18, were the necessary keys to claim her the winner of the 2015 Sonshine Music Festival tournament, competing against unsigned artists from all across the United States. Beck’s win secured her a performance slot on the main stage later that day, and now places her in the running to be awarded prime stage opportunities at 28 Christian Music Festivals in 2016.
This was not Beck’s first opportunity on the national concert scene. The Sonshine event comes just one week after singing at Creation Ichthus, held in Lexington, KY. Beck has also competed in past music tournaments in Michigan, Ohio, and Missouri. She is booked regularly in the northwest Ohio region and also tours throughout the country. But the Sonshine Festival event was Beck’s first performance featuring 4 of the songs on her brand new album.
The 6 track EP, Written On You, was recorded in Studio City, CA, produced by Los Angeles/Nashville based producer and Dove award winning singer, Nathan Walters. Written On You is Beck’s third studio album, but her first working with Walters. The result is a dramatic sound with edgy vocals, setting new standards for Christian and crossover music. The 6 songs were chosen from more than 20 that Beck has penned in the last three years.
Local music fans will have the opportunity to hear Beck sing live at the upcoming Waynestock Music Festival in St. Marys, OH, August 22. Meanwhile, Hannah Beck’s new album is available on Spotify, iTunes, and other online market locations, or for physical copies, purchase at hannahbeckmusic.com.
