Growing Up Stupid, the debut album of singer/songwriter Hannah Gillespie from Majors Creek, NSW encompasses a vast array of musical styles and influences in a collection of beautifully crafted songs brought to life by some of Canberra's finest players. 'Hannah Gillespie is adding twists of cabaret, jazzy far-out-ness, and more to her countrified roots. Here we find her in exploration mode, growing and taking in new elements. An indication of talent acquired, with further indications of great things to come.' Ken Stringfellow (REM/The Posies)
