The Quiet Show

As the days grow darker, and you reach for something soft, Gillian Grogan and Hanna Haas invite you to join them for a very special winter solstice performance of The Quiet Show: Soft Songs for Darker Days.

RESERVE A SPOT

About the Show

We’ll gather in a barn, near a bonfire, to enjoy quiet songs in cozy company. Please dress warmly and bring a candle for a little solstice ritual. After the show we’ll enjoy a potluck and get a chance to be a little louder as we get to know each other and the artists in this intimate little house (barn) show. We promise to have you heart filled and on your way home for an early bedtime.

About the Artists


Gillian Grogan is a vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and van-dweller with roots in Sonoma County. Grogan has woven bits of folk, indie, rock, and nature itself into a sonic landscape “unlike anything else you’ve heard in 'folk' music today” (Ear To The Ground). Tickled strings, floating vocals, hammered riffs and belted requests—she has taken the plot and given it curves, let it swell and shrink back again. Untamed and untethered, her pure yet earthy voice will silence the room one moment and have it in stitches the next. NPR Music's Felix Contreras calls her songwriting "six strings and the truth." She calls it “full-bodied folk.”

Grogan is working on her second studio album at 2200 Studios in Sausalito, CA (formerly The Record Plant) with Grammy-nominated co-producer Ben Bloomberg and Grammy-nominated recording engineer Damien Lewis. Honey Moon explores questions without answers, love without purpose, and chords without resolve. It embraces readiness without preparation, vulnerabilities without judgement, and seeks to release the present from the past. It is a collection of songs and interludes that speak to a single truth—that it is our flaws which make us most beautiful, just as it is the dust and pollution in the earth’s atmosphere which casts a warm amber hue on the moon at the horizon, as it rises, as it falls, and rises again.

Hanna Haas is a songwriter drawn to the dance of light and dark. Based in the Bay Area, she’s come to call the entire West Coast home. She describes her music as “contemplative folk,” identifying with artists like Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, and Feist for their alternate tunings and mesmerizing melodies. Inspired by the places she’s lived, Hanna sings of the dramatic cliffs of Big Sur, the California sun, and the vast, open sky of the Pacific Northwest. Hanna loves to engage her audiences in sweet storytelling and laughter, leaving her audience in a state of heart-felt introspection.
