Hannah Wright & The Midnight Revelry was founded in 2021 by Hannah Wright (lead singer / songwriter) & Carrie Comeaux (bass guitar). While working together at Dell Children's Medical Center in Austin, the two discovered each other's musical talents and the "building of the band" was soon underway! Not long after, Charlie Murphy (guitar), Anthony Watson (guitar) and Melodie Zapata (drums) were added to the mix. The 5-member band performs original music as well as a mixture of Rock & Roll, Country, Blues and Soul; a genre they like to call... "Southern Rock Revival"
