Sano Hill

Singer-songwriter // Galway, Galway // He/Him

Sano Hill is an Award-winning Irish singer-songwriter based in Galway city. His music has been described as defining “a timeless recipe for original guitar music: inventive, humanist lyrics sung from the gut, then embedded in rhythms to barrage or soothe the soul' (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel). His influences range widely from Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello to Jeff Buckley, Nick Cave, Foy Vance and The Frames. In November 2023, Hill released his debut album 'If Not Now, When?' to rave reviews with Plastic Magazine describing it as "a superb LP that showcases the full scope of his original sound across its eleven songs”. The album was awarded the prestigious 'Album of the Year' award from the North-American based New Artist Spotlight (NAS) music organisation. Hot Press choose two album tracks 'Not that Kind of love Song' and 'Love Stories' as 'Songs of the Week' and described the album's opening track 'Time Out' as capturing “the sound, sense and smell of Galway in a similar vein to Van Morrison's finest compositions about his native Belfast".
