Donora

The members of indie rock band Donora were almost destined to pursue music. Siblings Jake and Casey Hanner grew up in a musical home: their father Dave Hanner is a musician, producer, songwriter with hits recorded by Glen Campbell, Lee Ann Womack, and Bonnie Prince Billy, to name a few. It was Dave who actually suggested Jake and Casey form a band, and soon they added bassist Jake Churton, making him an honorary part of their musical family. Dave, however, has had little to do with Donora’s music since their debut album in 2009, but his influence is evident in the carefree pop-leaning sound heard in the band’s four albums. Some of their songs have even been featured in TV shows such as Teen Wolf, Grey’s Anatomy, and Cribs. Hear Donora along with Brewster and String Machine when they play The Mr. Roboto Project.
