We're delighted to present Rachel Mae Hannon as our next act on the Hot Press Lockdown Sessions' Y&E Series – going live on the Hot Press Instagram at 7.30pm tonight!

Monaghan-born artist Rachel Mae Hannon has rapidly established herself as a powerful new alt-pop talent on the Irish scene, with the release of her acclaimed debut single 'Be In Love' earlier this year – which has since clocked up over 100,000 streams on Spotify. Drawing influence from the likes of Hiatus Kaiyote, Amber Mark, London Grammar and Tom Misch, Rachel skilfully blends the boundaries between pop and neo-soul.

The Y&E Series continues to shine a light on some of the best new and emerging talent that Ireland has to offer in 2020 – with a brilliant selection acts joining Hot Press on Instagram every night for special live-streamed performances.

Watch Rachel Mae Hannon tonight, November 28, as part of the Hot Press Lockdown Sessions' The Y&E Series, supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media – live on the Hot Press Instagram (@hotpressmagazine) at 7.30pm.
