Bio:
She’s In The Band is a one-woman band featuring the unique musical stylings of
Hannah Sciurba, a ukulele songstress with a powerful voice and a habit of telling it like it is.
She’s In The Band was formed in the summer of 2008 with the hopes of not only being able to
tour and share music with as many people as humanly possible, but also with the idea of
expanding the slowly growing, self-titled genre of “ukulele-jam-rock”.
Over the years Hannah has played various venues all over Southern California, spreading
the love with her humorous lyrics and “who cares” attitude. In 2009 she began gaining
popularity as some kind of YouTube celebrity, posting her renditions of popular songs on her
page for people to rate and comment.
One cover that caught the public’s eye was Hannah’s adaptation of the positive-
hardcore song “This Is More” by Orange County band Stick To Your Guns. Hannah used open
chords, strong strums and a beautiful melody to turn the otherwise metal-influenced song into
a catchy pop number. When Stick To Your Guns caught wind of the cover, they publicly started
a search for “that girl playing the tiny guitar.” The band loved the unique cover so much they
wanted to include it on their new album, “The Hope Division” as a hidden track. That album
was released June 1st, 2010 and you’ll be happy to find those pleasant ukulele strums at the
end of the very last track. Since then She’s In The Band has gained increasing attention from
bands and artists with requests to cover many more songs.
Nowadays She’s In The Band spends a lot of time promoting new original music via live
Currently in the studio
recording the debut She’s In The Band EP, “Better,” Hannah was driven with a desire to
completely self-fund the EP and with the help of fans and followers, has raised over $2,000 in
donations so far. There is still a long way to go, but ultimately She's In The Band hopes to have
further success engaging and connecting with fans through laughter and music.
I'd like to add that mastering for the record was completed today, now we send it out for printing and duplication!
