When Midwest native Hannah Fairlight moved to Raelyn Nelson’s (Willie’s granddaughter) hometown of Nashville people kept confusing them for one-another, so the two like-minded look-a-likes decided to form a band. Earlier this year they release their self-titled debut album mmhmm.
The pair have individually gained a lot of traction with their solo projects but the universe pushed them together to form an acoustic duo. The duo has grabbed the attention of the Nashville music scene with features in the East Nashvillian’s “Women in Music” issue that claimed mmhmm was “the breakout duo of the year.” With catchy melodies, pretty harmonies, Fairlight on acoustic guitar, Nelson on ukulele, both donned with chaps, it’s no wonder that the pair have been voted the “Cutest band around” by local publications. What makes the talented duo work so well?
“There are no “no’s” in mmhmm”- Fairlight says. “mmhmm”- agrees Nelson.
