Hello and welcome to Hannah Ford's official website. Hannah has been called one of the best up and coming young drummers in the country. In 2006 Hannah won the Louie Bellson Heritage Days Drum Competition (only girl to ever do so) and the "Outstanding Jazz Musician" award at the New Trier Jazz Festival in Chicago! In February of 2007 Hannah was once again recognized with an "Outstanding Musician" award at the annual "Jazz in the Meadows Festival" in Chicago. Closing out the year Hannah won the "Best Drummer/Musician" category in Suburban Nitelife Magazines's "Best of the Burbs" readers poll, an accomplishment she acheived again in 2008!
Most recently the drummer with Chicago-land fan-favorite "Universal Slim & The Blues Kangaroos" Hannah's current performance projects include “The Hannah Ford Band” (Rock), "Pandorum" (Fusion) and her one-woman “Peace, Love & Drums” multi-media show.

For, despite her wholesome, youthful appearance, the musical maturity and show(wo)manship she brings to the stage is well beyond her years.
