Hannah Dasher's work ethic, her strong, non-conforming, swaggy lyrics set her apart from her peers early on, earning her the nickname Hannah Damn Dasher. Accompanying her big hair and her larger-than-life personality is a voice that’s even bigger.
During the quarantine summer of 2020, Dasher decided to try out her comedic, country music-infused cooking series, "Stand By Your Pan" on TikTok. Within six months, her platform grew from 12,000 followers to over a million. “People appreciate that I’m authentically unfiltered Hannah, and I’m very confident in who God made me to be,” she says.
Quite the entertainer beyond the kitchen, the triple threat is now a Fender Next Artist, and the face of the new 2021 Telecaster coming this fall. “Jaren Johnston (from the band The Cadillac Three) gave me my first electric guitar a few years ago and said, ‘Now here. Learn it!’ So I did. I don’t know the notes, I just play by ear.”
Once Sony discovered and then signed Dasher, she says, her team was careful about the timing of her releases, because in country music, timing can be everything. “They never made me feel like I wasn’t enough,” the CMT Next Women of Country says. And now that the time is right, Dasher is all in. She was born to entertain, and now she’s devoted 32 years of hard work to perfecting her art. It shows at all her shows. Hannah Damn Dasher, indeed.
Sentimental FamilyBand is the Texas born trio of Camille Lewis, Kyle Albrecht, and Matthew Shepherd.
You can hear traces of the Hancocks on Sweethearts Only, also Loretta, Gram Parsons, even a little Michael Nesmith. But curiously, what you don’t hear a lot of is the two-stepping rhythms the Sentimental Family Band has delivered to packed dance floors over the past few years.
“Our original music has developed from playing these clubs and playing the two steppers.” Camille explains. “And we play these two hour sets, so there’s a lot of covers. We first wanted to try writing these originals that would blend into a set that had Ray Price and Buck Owens songs. It was a writing experiment to see if we could make our own stuff that sounded similar to the songs we were covering. But inevitably, because of a lot of our other musical influences, we infused different flavors into it. I agree that the album is pretty mellow and there’s not a lot of fast shuffles or certain touchstones of a lot of country albums that we were influenced by, we just come from musical backgrounds that are a little bit more experimental. There’s not as much of like a rulebook or a precedent for how the music should be arranged and written, whereas these country records there are. So when we went to record with [producer] Billy Horton, out at Fort Horton Studios, he’s really steeped in a lot of this very traditional country and blues stuff. That’s where his recording approach comes from, and that’s where his gear comes from, that’s where his notes come from when we’re working with him. It’s sort of meeting in the middle, our influences and and Billy’s knowledge in terms of recreating some of those sounds, and especially with the way that he mixes his records. Some of our other sensibilities that were less informed by country.”
