Paul & Tanya Hanna

They are the power couple of entertainment in The Bahamas. For more than 30 years Paul and Tanya have been at the top of the game in entertainment. Internationally they have opened and or appeared with Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Chic Corea, Stand Getz, Jeffrey Osbourne, Phyllis Diller, Jonathan Butler, Maine Nightingale, Peabo

Bryson, Melba Moore, Denise Williams, The Temptations, Tito Puente, Arturo Sandoval and Nancy Wilson.

Paul is considered the all-time Jazz great of The Bahamas but his range is classical, pop, R & B while Tanya has grooved into a Latin sound with a highly acclaimed Brazilian medley focus. The Hanna’s made history when they celebrated in a Golden Anniversary Concert at Government House with a performance under the distinguished patronage of His Excellency the Governor General Sir Arthur Foulkes and Lady Foulkes. Paul and Tanya’s son, Troika, also a highly acclaimed musician who resides and works in Nashville joined his parents on stage for some numbers and then the family high light was Troika’s two year old daughter, Aria, who brought the house down

with her gorgeous voice.

Paul arrived on the scene a highly polished and trained artist with skills on the keyboards, the drums and the

guitar. Tanya grew up in a house of musical instruments being the daughter of the late Bahamian music instructor

Sidney Woods. Paul landed his first major job as an entertainer with the legendary night club businessman King

Eric Gibson and from that day on he has continued to develop his skills and his range of performance.

His first album release, “Good Times Society” with its ten songs drawn from a multiple range was a local best

seller and critically acclaimed for the polish and new avenues Paul took his music and his vocals. Tanya has found

new interest in Health and Nutrition and in New York in November last year she began a tour of her new work,

“Embracing You”, the book was launched at a reception in Nassau at Graycliff in December. The Hanna’s have

shown that they are a force in Bahamian entertainment and their range is always under construction. In other

words come expecting to be entertained, come expecting to hear their music soar to new heights.
