What are the steps to success? Do what you love. Keep doing what you love. Keep going. About Hanna PK Hanna PK is a solid pianist, soulful vocalist, and vibrant performer, born and raised in South Korea, currently residing in Rochester, NY. She plays a wide variety of the blues & swing, old school folk, and boogie-woogie. She has a dynamic songwriting style - ranging from a funky tune with socially conscious lyrics to a mournful slow blues, from a pop-edged ballad to an uplifting swinging number, and from barrelhouse boogie to jazz. Her seemingly sweet and soft-spoken appearance often leads to surprise when hearing her rich, resonating voice that goes from a whisper to belting with intensity. Her piano style is much more lyrical and imaginative than simply repeating so-called “licks”, though she knows when to toss them in the mix for a thrill, and is always in the groove. And what draws the audience closer to her heartfelt, honest music are her genuine passion, and the originality that comes from within. In November 2021, She released her debut album on the VizzTone Label with Booga Music of internationally-known bluesman, Kenny Neal. Though Kenny had met her in Memphis, and during his tour in upstate New York, what got his attention to sign her to his label was a video of hanna's performance on a Curtis Jones' song “Decoration Day Blues” that she recorded in her U-Haul storage room. Debuted at #13 on Billboard's US Blues chart, since its release, the album has been played all over the U.S. and the world. But words, and even recorded samples, cannot fully convey the essence of Hanna's ''music — to really understand it and feel it, you have to hear her perform live. Her music continues to evolve and reflects the very moment she is living in — the happenings and vibe in the room, the reactions of her listeners, the musical contributions of each band member, and even the events of the week in the world, all combine to inspire a new and different performance of each song. As is the case with all true blues performers, she works from and in the tradition of the music while bringing her own stamp of creativity and originality to it. Her music tells a story, sometimes an age-old one, but she tells it in her way from her perspective, which in turn informs and expands our experience.

Episode 116 of the Rochester Groovecast Podcast in a Re-Stream of Rochester Groovecast founder, Ben Albert, featured on the Afternoon Cocktail Talk show! Afternoon Cocktail Talk Show is a wellness-based show featuring live performances and candid interviews with National and International Singer-songwriters, entrepreneurs, and various noteworthy causes. Through a collection of perspectives, Afternoon Cocktail delivers inspirational, educational, and thought-provoking entertainment that encourages awareness, self-care, kindness, and mental wellness. In episode 56 of Afternoon Cocktail, “Facing The Music,” Afternoon Cocktail host, Amanda Ashley interviews Courtney Whitehead of Bison Bone, and Ben Albert of Rochester Groovecast. Bison Bone Biography: “Bison Bone is an Americana Rock and Roll band from Denver, CO. Bison Bone is a little bit country, a little bit rock & roll, and fully led by the boisterous singer/songwriter Courtney Whitehead. The veneer of their “Americana Rock & Roll band” description doesn’t seem to phase the group, as is apparent in their newest album, Find Your Way Out. Whitehead has unabashedly embraced the spirit of the aforementioned term, almost to the point of mockery. The Denver-based band seems fully aware of the connotations surrounding surface level labels and uses it to their advantage by tricking listeners into thinking they are listening to something they are not. It would be easy to think Bison Bone is just another simplistic Americana band, but this is not the case. – Bandwagon Mag 2020 He doesn’t need to name the struggle behind that contentment; it’s there in the semisweet melody and the band’s fine-sandpaper roots-rock grit, a package that recalls Tom Petty or The Wallflowers. – The All Scene Eye 2020 Courtney Whitehead (Vocals/Guitar), Brianna Straut (Vocals/Tambo), Wolf Van Elfmand (Lead Guitar/vocals), Adam Stern (Pedal Steel/Lead Guitar), Tony Piscotti (Bass), Adam Blake (drums).” – www.bisonebone.com Timestamp: 00:00: Rochester Groovecast Episode Intro 02:32: Afternoon Cocktail Episode Intro 04:00: Amanda’s conversation with Bison Bone and Bison Bone Live Performance 29:09: Amanda’s conversation with Ben Albert of Rochester Groovecast 48:09: One more live track by Bison Bone 51:41: Episode Conclusion At Rochester Groovecast, the mantra “We’re Fans First!” harnesses the belief that the best businesses are built by fans.

In episode 113, Ben chats with Friday In America's Ben Rossi. "With a range of influences spanning from The Band to The Roots, Friday in America fuse elements of folk, rock, reggae, and hip hop. The result is a menagerie of musical styles - from the heavy rock and funk arrangements of songs like "Hitman" to the stripped-down folk of "Water". In 2011, the band released their first full length album "Cut the Brakes", and had the track "Water" featured in the closing scene of the AFI-Fest award-winning film The Hammer, which told the true story of deaf UFC fighter Matt Hamill. The album's rock and folk arrangements have garnered comparisons to artists like Jack Johnson and Bruce Springsteen, and have received regular rotation on shows like Scott Regan's "Open Tunings" (NPR). The band's love of all music and their ability to write and play across numerous mediums makes for a unique concert experience. They have opened for acts like Max Creek, Ekoostik Hookah, and the Ryan Montbleau Band, and are constantly fusing their disparate influences in a groove-oriented framework."
