Hannah Sumner unveils first video of new monthly series, "Plus One"
Debuting a fantastic new monthly video series titled Plus One, Hannah Sumner has just premiered the first video of which many more are on the way. Keep reading for a full breakdown of the series, as well as a much needed background on the artist herself.
Earlier in 2022, Hannah Sumner received a grant and artist residency from Nancy Manocherian’s The Cell Theatre. From that was born a series of live in studio duets featuring a different instrument in each video. Month to month we’ll see specific instrument highlights that include bass, guitar, drums, harp, and piano. Just released today on July 26th, 2022, the first video is out and it features YouTube star Adam Neely on the bass. We’ve linked it below to view, but please let us tell you more before you click the play button.
If you happen to be unfamiliar with Hannah Sumner, we’ve been following her work closely since the end of 2020 when we reviewed her single, “Only You”. Since then, she’s been solidifying herself as one of New York’s best alternative artists, and so we’re not the least bit surprised that she’s at the forefront of this innovative series. Through five separate videos that will all feature other rising stars and specific instrumentation, it’s one of the best ways we can think of to not only promote their talents, but to highlight true artistry in the video format. We’ve only seen the first video, but with four more coming in the next months, you can bet we’re already anticipating more greatness.
While it’s so great we’ll have these videos to come back to, The Cell Theatre has also stated that the recordings will be pressed to vinyl in the coming months. We’re not sure if they’ll be in a box set or what the format might be, but we’re certainly looking forward to that roll out when more information gets announced.
For now though while we patiently await for the next video, go ahead and dive into the first by scrolling down. You can also follow Hannah on her social media to stay up to date with further details on the project. Enjoy!
