Hannah can provide a flexible setup depending on the size and needs of your event.

For smaller events and intimate performances, Hannah can perform with piano and/or acoustic guitar and can provide her own basic amplification when appropriate. A standard electrical outlet and a small, level performance area are generally all that is needed.

For larger events, Hannah is happy to work with the venue's existing sound system or a professional sound provider. If using venue-provided sound, a vocal microphone, microphone stand, appropriate monitor/monitor mix, and DI/input for piano or other instruments may be needed depending on the performance setup.

For performances requiring additional musicians, backing tracks, or a more extensive production setup, technical requirements will be discussed and confirmed in advance.

Hannah does not typically require special lighting or staging. Good general stage/event lighting and a clean, safe performance area are sufficient.

Specific equipment and technical requirements will always be confirmed with the client ahead of the event so that everything is clear and there are no surprises on the day of the performance.
