Hannah Cohen’s music seems to come from a whole way of living: open windows, shared meals, old records, mountain air, and the slow work of making a home.
In a recent Atwood Magazine interview, Cohen reflects on her new single “Golden Chain,” the quiet rhythms of life in the Catskills, and the community that has helped shape her work. A new episode of Have Guitar Will Travel, recorded around BottleRock, adds another glimpse into that world, tracing connections between her Bay Area childhood, her father’s life as a respected jazz drummer, and the rural creative life she has built around Flying Cloud Recordings.
Big Ears audiences heard that world come into focus this spring, when Cohen brought her warm, dreamlike songs to The Standard. Together, the interview and podcast offer a fuller portrait of an artist whose music feels less like a performance persona than an extension of a life lived attentively.
