Hannah Macklin Quintet

Hannah Macklin performs regularly both in Brisbane and around Australia, having toured the country several times. Having made a name for herself as a voice to be reckoned with, possessing “A dexterous set of vocal cords” (Rave Magazine) and “A very likeable stage persona” (Courier Mail), Hannah is quickly becoming one of the state’s top jazz performers.

A winner in the 2009 QSong Awards Jazz Category, and a finalist in the APRA Professional Development Awards for Songwriting, Hannah is also a gifted composer; she both writes for and performs in the “Macklin & Newcomb Duo”, “Hannah Macklin & the Teapotter Party”, and “The West End Composers Collective”. With a contemporary attitude to both singing and composing, and a keen interest in new sounds and improvisation, Hannah’s talent has allowed her to perform alongside musicians such as Jamie Oehlers, James Muller, The Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra, Kristin Berardi, Sam Anning, Ben Vanderwal, Will Vinson, Phil Stack, James Sherlock, and Jim Pugh.

“At 21, Macklin is already a remarkably assured singer. She is also a gifted composer, offering several appealing tunes of her own – including the snappy, vocalese-styled Jack and the delightfully eccentric Sleep Song.” The Age, 2009.
