just beneath its skin, a story untold
let it burst apart from this god-given mould
when it all dissolves will the memories be all
when you're behind bars for stealing your own 

vulnerable boy with a weakness for truth
sees a snake outside with a lump in its throat
a pair of skins beside the big old aspen out back
and he can't decide - to do nothing or to act

when the walls caved in and the light shone through
there were spaces in between the things you thought you knew
the snake that shed its skin, how much of him is left 
you said nothing 
i can't make up my mind

(b. 1987, Utah) Crossing boundaries is a feature of Hannah Epperson's life and music—from residence in the US and Canada to nearly 300 live performances in North America, Europe and the Middle East. Singled out by Bandcamp as “one of the most stunningly unconventional artists making music today,” renowned musicologist/critic Ted Gioia chose her debut album Upsweep as one of the Top 3 recordings of 2016, calling it “unique, haunting, addictive.” Classically trained, her genre-bending violin looping and singing was enriched by apprenticeships with the fiddler of acclaimed Deseret String Band and studio work and performances with Fleet Foxes, Julianna Barwick and Ry X. A graduate in Human Geography, a member of Canada’s world champion Ultimate Frisbee Team, Hannah embodies music as a bridge, gathering soundscapes and people together in transfiguring moments of live and studio performances.
