Hana Zara

Hana Zara is a New England-based indie folk singer-songwriter known for crafting lyrically rich, socially conscious music that blends activism with storytelling. Originally from Nebraska, she relocated to Burlington, Vermont, after a stint in New York City where she recorded her debut album *Little Doll* (2013) while busking and navigating the city’s challenges. Her sophomore release *Tatterhood* (2013) solidified her signature style of introspective, narrative-driven ballads, while 2024’s *People Against an Empire* and *Bloom Where You Fall* showcase anthems addressing resilience, community, and resistance against systemic forces. Described as creating "poetry and possibility" through her work, Zara’s music often reflects themes of belonging, displacement, and hope amidst modern struggles.
