STELLA HANSEN
Stella Hansen, a Nashville native, embodies the sound of her hometown. Starting when she was just 4 years old, she would accompany her dad on his lunch break to the classic honky tonk, Robert’s Western World. This is one of the places she first fell in love with music. Stella grew up surrounded by the sweet sounds of traditional country music and old time alike. She often attended the square dances in her neighborhood and became entranced by the vibrant sound of the fiddles and banjos. Although let it be noted as a mandolin maker’s daughter, the mandolin will always be near and dear to her heart. This musical foundation pulled her towards the local two step dance halls in Nashville, where as a young adult, her passion was reignited. Stella Hansen’s long-awaited debut EP, Going to Portland, out now, captures the raw emotions of leaving home for the first time. It’s a snapshot, written when Stella was just 18, offering a rare glimpse into the earliest stages of adulthood and self-discovery. The track list follows the order in which the songs were written, allowing listeners to grieve, contemplate loneliness, and find closure alongside Stella. Spanning a full year of writing but distilled into just 20 minutes, the EP takes the listener on an intimate journey.
