Biography
Hannah Judson was born in Brunswick, Maine and is of English, Prussian and Southern Huguenot heritage. Her father John Howland descended from Plymouth colonists and her mother Cynthia Birge Howland was a direct descendant of William Bradford. Her father was a cousin of Progressive Party chair and U.S. Senator Robert M. LaFollette [2]. Her father was a professor of Biochemistry at Bowdoin College and her mother was a Christian Science practitioner. As a child her family spent a summer in Aigues Mortes France with Whitney Stoddard on Williams College’s Psalmodi Archeology Dig, living on the archeological site with the other academic families and students, who were excavating the abandoned Benedictine Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul at Psalmodi in Eastern Languedoc, France. [3]
In high school she lived in Cambridge, England for a sabbatical year, where she attended The Perse School for Girls. The family rented Francis Crick’s house on Portugal Place. While a guest in their home, Elliott Schwartz left a cassette of Laurie Anderson’s Big Science (1982) which had just been released and became a pivotal influence. Hannah Judson studied Art and Art History at Colby College with Gina Werfel and Hearne Pardee, completing a junior year abroad studying printmaking and painting in Lacoste, France and Florence, Italy. After college she lived in Vienna, Austria where she worked as an artist. After traveling through Morocco, and hitchhiking from southern Spain to Holland, she lived in Boston for several years working for Pucker-Safrai art gallery and Houghton-Mifflin Company in photo research. She then moved to San Sebastian, Spain, where she taught English and studied Spanish classical guitar.
In 1991 she moved to Chicago where she became active in the Chicago music scene while a graduate student at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She launched her first band Salt Lick and wrote and performed continuously with The Bloomers, Sweet Bridget, and Kite Club. She performed at many notable venues including Double Door, The Elbo Room and The Hideout.
In 2005 she moved to France with her husband and children. She became a French citizen in 2018.
