Hannah Wicklund – The Pier – single review – wilfulandsullivan

Review By Darren McIntyre

Hannah Wicklund is a blues / rock singer / songwriter from Hilton Head Island, South Carolina who now resides in Nashville and originally began her journey into the music industry in 2006. Hannah started playing piano aged 3, guitar aged 8 and had formed her own band The Stepping Stones aged 9, Hannah has given us The Stepping Stones in 2018, The Prize in 2024, Live @ The Troubadour in 2025, The Living Vault in 2026, War On Women – Calling All Good Men in 2026 & EP The Inbetween in 2020. Hannah drops her incredible new single The Pier which I will be reviewing for you today.

The Pier – The track comes at us with soulful, moody vocals that really let the track shine as sweet, melodic guitar licks let the arrangement break free as the tempo grabs our attention. The mesmerising vocals really let the track open and flow effortlessly through the song as we are taken on the journey with Hannah as she really digs deep and tells us how it really is as the musicianship builds with every note that is shot across our bow, the crisp, clean guitar licks really let the groove build as we feel the depth, blues and tone wrap itself around us as the lyrics really hit home in this thought provoking number that has us reaching for the repeat button for sure. The depth, tone and the deep appreciation really let Hannah express herself as this number stops us in our tracks as we feel the whole story unfold before us.
