BIO
I am a singer-songwriter reared, raised and writing in the American south. I’ve dedicated the last 20 years to finding myself through and through in songwriting. Music helps me connect to others and feel less lonesome in a place that can sometimes feel desolate. Music is my action—creating spaces where love, loss, and life intersect for everyone.
Whether in love, finding God, breaking up, or simply learning what better means, I’m also doing my best to be a human too, and that’s where my music meets you.

remarks
“Gorgeous voice.”
“ [...] skillfully crafted melodies and progressions, the lilt of your melodies and their keyhole views into the moments of your life that reach me and others at our humanness.”
“You’ll be hooked on Hane McLeaish if you also like: Garrett Kato, Caamp, Northwest Stories, Ed Patrick, Riley Pearce”
“Hane’s lyrical mastery and soulful voice gets stuck inside your head, encouraging you to pick it apart like poetry, replaying songs over and over again. Their music summons up all of the feel-good chemicals associated with falling in love— dopamine, oxytocin, the butterflies dancing around in your stomach. This longing for human connection permeates their songs, tracking through first dates, heartbreak, grief— the cyclical nature of love itself.”
