Hannah Horton

Hannah Horton is a saxophonist and composer whose music is rooted in storytelling, warmth and emotional honesty. Known for her rich baritone sax sound and lyrical writing, she draws listeners in with melody and feeling, inviting them to slow down and connect with the stories behind the music. Her album Stories on the Wind, recorded live with her long standing band at Red Kite Studio in the Welsh hills, captures moments of reflection, love, loss and hope, focusing on the feeling between the notes as much as the notes themselves. Hannah has worked with the same core musicians for many years, building a sound based on trust and shared musical language. That connection runs through both her recordings and live performances, where audiences respond to the openness and accessibility of her music. An award winning, Selmer endorsed artist, she has performed at leading UK venues including Ronnie Scott’s, the Barbican, Royal Festival Hall and the 606 Jazz Club, as well as selling out London Jazz Festival appearances. Yet it is the emotional connection her music creates that matters most. “Hannah makes the big beast baritone sax sound like an angel.” Ian Shaw
