Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage release their fifth studio album The Strangers' Share on 17th October 2025; a record centred on dreams and the supernatural.
Following 2024's In The Dark We Grow band tour, and their 2023 collaborations with folk-rock legends Fairport Convention, the album sees Hannah & Ben return home to the intimate, pin-drop intimacy of the single microphone live shows that made their name five albums earlier. Every creak from their 80 year old vintage guitars is honestly captured; an intake of nervous breath before a heartbreaking ballad; the magic of live-in-the-studio duetting - this record takes you through the veil, deep into Hannah & Ben’s dreamy, soundscaped world - for 40 minutes, you’re in the room with them - sharing the magic.
Their 2022 Topic Records album Ink Of The Rosy Morning was included in MOJO's folk albums of the year, who declared it “as heartwarming as it is beguiling”; the record reached #3 in the Official UK Folk Album Charts.
Since emerging in 2016, Hannah & Ben have been defying all conventions of style, genre and compartmentalisation. A touch of ‘Americana’, yet quintessentially English. Traditional, yet contemporary, with their individual writing style. Playful and instinctive, they make music with such panache and natural chemistry it makes perfect sense.
Hannah Sanders has an alluring mystique and a voice of disarming purity that massages your senses. Ben Savage is a singular guitarist with a sound as distinctive as it is innovative. Together their harmonies and unique stage presence shimmer with an infectious enthusiasm and joy for the connection music offers.
Their intimate live show has captivated audiences across the UK, US, Canada & Asia, sharing the stage with the likes of Fairport Convention, Sarah Jarosz, Martin Simpson, Ralph McTell, Seth Lakeman and Gretchen Peters.
