The Sydney Hansen Band to perform at FourthFest.

Sydney Hansen is a Duluth, Minnesota native and Nashville-based recording artist whose sultry vocals and emotionally driven songwriting are quickly positioning her as a standout emerging voice in modern country music. She began writing original songs at just thirteen, drawing from real-life love, heartbreak, and self-discovery to craft honest, resonant storytelling. Her sound naturally blends country and Southern rock, marked by warmth, grit, and melodic instinct. After building momentum across the Upper Midwest, Hansen relocated to Nashville following the release of her single “Somebody’s Nobody. She is now a Belmont University student, full-time singer-songwriter, and collaborator with legendary producer Kent Wells. Her single “You or The Whiskey” achieved notable chart success as the #2 charting independent artist and earned multiple Josie Music Award nominations. In December 2025, Hansen signed with Get Joe Records for a record deal and management contract, working on her latest EP, Business Is Good, set to be released in early Summer, as she continues to tour and build national buzz.

Look who's coming back to headline FourthFest 2026! They absolutely rocked the park last year so lets get ready for them to do it again! Some Sh!tty Cover Band!!!!
