This week BLACK WIDOWS were our guests for a 3 song in-studio session at the Minnehaha Recording Company and a long-form conversation about everything from their first Greatest Show Ever through their upcoming Saints game and Pride festival shows, and the Back to the City Showcase that they’ll be playing with Venus DeMars & All the Pretty Horses, gully boys and Death of a Ladies’ Man at Mortimer’s on Thursday 6/28.
Back To The City Mpls
HANNAH VON DER HOFF shares her VONDERVISION on BACK TO THE CITY: MPLS MUSIC CONVERSATION
“So the time has come for me to move on,” Hannah Von Der Hoff opens “Open Road,” one of three songs premiered live in-studio at the Minnehaha Recording Company on today’s episode of Back to the City.
“And you’re gonna find me somewhere on the open range.”
Earlier this month, it was not on the open range but at Tampa International Airport that “Back to the City” host and curator SimonCalder ran into his old friend and “Back to the City” veteran, Minneapolis-bred songwriter Hannah Von Der Hoff.
Von Der Hoff’s gofundme campaign for her forthcoming debut LP launched this week, Hannah and Simon took their serendipitous Florida meeting as a sign that a “Back to the City Session” and interview needed to happen immediately; now, here both of those things are.
We invite you to enjoy both Hannah’s exclusive performance of three previously-unavailable songs and our existential musings; to check out https://www.gofundme.com/hannahvonderhoffdebutlp for Hannah’s gofundme campaign.
