At the age of 17, Billings, Montana native Hana Pestle traveled to Los Angeles to begin working with Ben Moody in the studio. Pestle, with Moody’s creative support, spent the next year fine tuning her repertoire. Some of these tracks were released on an EP last year, while the collective works will appear on her formal debut in February, 2010. This past June, an acoustic “LIVE IN THE STUDIO” album was offered representing the power this young artist delivers performing solo on stage. Her track from the forthcoming “Need” has caught on like wildfire on the Internet, with well over two million streams on MySpace via the self-initiated campaign www.myspace.com/needfornewmoon

Now 19, Hana Pestle has spent the better part of the last year on the road. Summer, 2008, she was the opener on the Blues Traveler, Live, and Collective Soul Tour. She has also toured with Joshua Radin, Sister Hazel, Graham Colton, Ingram Hill, Ari Hest, Jon McLaughlin and Pat McGee. This fall, she will headline her first college run, with 30+ appearances in Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota and Wisconsin, alongside headline dates at clubs in the mid-west and support opportunities for Jonny Lang.
