BiB: Hannah Fairlight - From CBGB's Auditions to Lone Wolf: The Rise, Risks, and the Real Nashville

If you've ever wondered what happens when an artist goes all-in—risking comfort for creativity, clarity for chaos, and ultimately, artistic evolution—this episode of Bringin' It Backwards is for you.

Adam Lisicky sits down for a long-awaited catch-up with Hannah Fairlight, the singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and actor whose journey takes us from her small-town roots to international adventures, reality TV twists, and standing ovations at iconic venues like CBGB's. Three years since her last visit (and the release of Muscle and Skin), Hannah returns to share what she's discovered since: motherhood, sobriety, and most importantly, a brand new album, Lone Wolf.

In this deeply candid conversation, Hannah talks about the real stories behind reality TV, why saying "no" actually propelled her music forward, and how recording to tape in Nashville changed everything. She opens up about leaving behind the literal "album baby" era, focusing her energy on musical risk-taking, and the drive to create work that's not just for herself—but is sonically irresistible. Adam and Hannah dig into writing, surviving setbacks, finally getting to tour, and forging real connection both on stage and at home.

Whether you're a new artist chasing your first show or a fan of unapologetically honest music, Hannah's story is proof: getting uncomfortable is where the real magic happens.
