Michelle Hannan & One Blue Night

“Another Round” – Classic country influence transformed into a very fresh sounding approach. A delightful lead guitar part begins the track as pedal steel breezes on, clean acoustic guitar strums and light dampened drumming wanders along. The voices that top everything off are Michelle Hannan’s – one that’s simply soothing with an incredibly bright and clear tone along with backing vocals that deliver harmonies to complete the soundscape. Lyrically the song focuses on the heartbreak of an ended relationship and drinking a lot of alcohol to cope with the pain.. “You didn’t only break my heart, you hurt my liver too – for now I think I’ll have another round – another round, it’s the same thing every night – I hate to do this to myself but you should have done me right.” What’s most enjoyable is the homage to 70s acts such as Loretta Lynn or Dolly Parton and the band’s ability to create a song like “Another Round” that sounds like it could’ve been played on the radio alongside them. - What is Frederick?

Another country heartbreaker in “Tonight I’ll Scrape a Heart Off The Barroom Floor” from an upcoming album by Michelle Hannan and One Blue Night has also been added. - Saving Country Music

Michelle Hannan & One Blue Night – Soulful classic country that’s insanely well executed with tid bits of bluesy sections. Michelle Hannan’s pitch perfect singing emulates tones full of heartbreak and perseverance as she strums along on acoustic guitar. A solid rhythm section drives the songs forward and pedal steel propels that vintage twang/swing. Jason Hannan (rolling bass and broad backing vocals) joked before one particularly sad song to “hide your ropes, belts and toilet seats.” Some entertaining heckling from musician Chris Smaha had the crowd and band engaged in some true honky tonk dialogue. Michelle Hannan & One Blue Night had one of their songs named in the top 25 independent country songs by a Nashville publication last year and they are most certainly a Frederick group you should see. - What is Frederick?
