My old hometown newspaper, the Grand Rapids Press (specifically the great John Sinkevics), had this to say about Into the Quiet:
“The ex-Grand Rapidian, U-M vocal performance major and now Los Angeles-based Hanson keeps honing her considerable singer-songwriter talents, with breezy-but-captivating, pop- and rock-flavored songs that spotlight her emotion-packed, powerful vocals….”

Mike and I are back in Grand Rapids, MI for a visit, and we decided to play a show at Schuler Books during our trip. Schuler is a fantastic place – a big bookstore and cafe like a chain bookstore, but it’s locally owned. And they actually have an entire ’studio’ at the back with a stage, PA, etc that creates this really great listening-room experience- i.e., you’re not playing in between bookshelves or in the middle of cafe tables or something. :) So we were excited to play there, but having not been back to the Midwest in a couple years, really, we weren’t sure what to expect.
Happily, I was asked last-minute to come in to do an in-studio appearance on WYCE- GR’s community radio station and one of my very favorites- and the GR Press wrote a little blurb about the show in the calendar, so that was all pretty exciting. And then, perhaps because of the coverage, or for whatever reason, the show was absolutely packed! People couldn’t even find seats at one point…and everyone was very attentive.
All in all, it was more than I could have asked for – I really sincerely thank everyone who came out, and I hope that those show did enjoyed it as much as we did! Here’s hoping for many more like that one… :)
