Hannah McFarland

In the tradition of country’s greatest songwriters, Hannah McFarland has a divine gift for bringing an unexpected beauty to moments of heartbreak. Since the arrival of her 2025 debut EP Broken Hearts, the Alabama native has achieved major milestones like making her Grand Ole Opry debut, landing on the lineups to leading festivals like Stagecoach 2026, and appearing on Hits Daily Double’s New & Developing Artists round-up (joining the ranks of past honorees like Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton).

The daughter of a cowboy and a portrait artist, the Nashville-based musician took up guitar at age 15 and soon started opening for country superstars like Kelsea Ballerini and Travis Tritt, later inking a joint global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and The Core Publishing. After signing to The Core Records/Capitol Records, she made her major-label debut with “Hey Highway” (featured on SiriusXM The Highway’s On the Horizon) and delivered Broken Hearts to immediate acclaim from the likes of NPR’s All Songs Considered.

Hailed by Holler. as “one of country music’s quiet geniuses,” she’s recently made waves with a series of high-collaborations, including featuring on Riley Green’s “I Just Need You” and Brett Young’s “In Case You Didn’t Know 2.0” and linking up with Chase Rice for her summer 2025 single “Foolin’.” An increasingly in-demand live act, she’s also taken the stage at Boots and Hearts and Country Jam and toured with heavy-hitters like Tucker Wetmore, Kip Moore, Chase Rice, and Riley Green (including opening for Green in the UK and Europe last September). Now at work on new music, McFarland will perform at arenas across the U.S. this spring and summer as support for Green’s latest tour.
