A Juilliard grad and DownBeat 5-star artist, Sarah has already performed with legends like Jeff “Tain” Watts, Nicholas Payton, Jason Moran, and Dee Dee Bridgewater—and now she’s lighting up the stage with her own powerhouse band. Hanahan’s sound blends fiery bebop roots with fearless modern expression, earning her comparisons to the greats while forging a path all her own. Her debut album Among Giants was named one of DownBeat’s Best Albums of 2024, and it’s no wonder—her live sets are a masterclass in soul, swing, and spontaneous fire. Whether you’re a jazz head or just addicted to the thrill of a killer live band, don’t miss this rising star as she takes over the Black Cat stage.
