About This Event

Highly acclaimed South Carolina singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Hannah Wicklund has released her brand new single ‘Red Gorilla’. It is the latest song to be taken from her forthcoming album War On Women; Calling All Good Men, out August 28th via Strawberry Moon Records. The album is available to pre-order now here. ‘Red Gorilla’ is a funky blues rock track featuring a deft display of Hannah’s masterful guitar playing, rich in wah and scorching solos, while her commanding and wide-reaching vocals are delivered in homage to Harambe the Gorilla, following his controversial death at Cincinnati Zoo. Here the story plays as a reflection of our disconnection to the delicate ecosystem of the planet and the missteps of humankind. The video sees Hannah delivering a fiery performance of the track backed by her own powerful painting of Harambe. Watch it here. Regarding the single Hannah says, “Red Gorilla was written ten years ago, the day the Harambe the Gorilla was shot and killed at the Cincinnati Zoo. It still to this day is a dark stain on American and Human history.
