Hank Bee
Hank Bee is the solo project of Liverpool-based, Northumbrian musician Hannah Brown.
Drawing from the folk and country traditions of the North-East while embracing the
intensity of alternative rock, her music offers lyrical candour wrapped in vivid guitar-led
arrangements. Performing alongside her band, their live shows have become a local
staple, blending reflective songwriting with epic, emotive performances.
The name Hank Bee originated as a happy accident – from a nickname and an old email
handle – but quickly became a fitting persona. “I liked the idea of an androgynous queer
woman going by Hank,” she says. “It harks back to male country singers of a certain
era, but I’m not a man and I don’t make traditional country music. It makes me giggle to
think of someone seeing the name and expecting a fella in a cowboy hat.”
Originally from Morpeth, Northumberland, Brown moved to Liverpool in 2016 and has
become a familiar face in its music scene. Her writing is shaped by place, identity, and a
fascination with the beauty and drudgery of the everyday.
