Artist Line-Up

Vanessa Davis

Pop/Indie/Bluesy

Vanessa Davis is a Canadian-born singer-songwriter who has lived in Kentucky since 2005. Raised by a Classical music teacher and a Jazz musician, her musical studies began at an early age. Although classically trained, Vanessa’s first love is writing and performing in her unique pop/indie/bluesy style. Vanessa’s “adult” job (the one where she’s not a Rock Star) is running a private music studio where she teaches around 40 lessons a week in piano, voice, guitar, music theory, and songwriting.

Hannah Mae Rector

Singer/Songwriter/Musician

Hannah Mae Rector is a Singer/Songwriter/Musician originally from Winchester, Kentucky. She has been singing since she was a little girl and started playing piano at a young age but mostly performs live with her acoustic/electric guitar. After High School, she started performing in different singing competitions and at age 18 won the “Winchester Superstar” competition of her hometown and a trip to the American Idol tryouts. Although she didn’t go far in the tryouts, she continued to record and release several self-produced albums and later recorded a Christmas Album in Tennessee titled “Christmas Angel.” She started playing live music venues, bars and restaurants and later added ukulele to her musical repertoire while living and performing live music in Hawaii for several years where she had her music video for her song “Warm Christmas” from her Christmas Album made.

Her musical journey is continuing as she just released a new cover song single “American Honey” and a music video to go along with it. She recently moved back home due to the current pandemic situation shutting down all live music venues. Hannah says she will always continue to play music no matter what.
