Hattie Chandler is a Bognor Regis–based singer‑songwriter whose music blends soul, country and the timeless spirit of ’70s rock. Her voice carries that unmistakable warm, lived‑in tone—somewhere between Linda Ronstadt’s velvet phrasing and the emotional reach of Barbra Streisand—while her songwriting leans into vivid storytelling that resonates strongly with UK country fans. Now rooted along the south coast, she channels the coastal quiet, the long roads between gigs and the grit of independent artistry into songs that feel both classic and current.
Her debut EP Watercolour marks a confident step forward, showcasing a setlist that moves easily between lyrical, soft‑focus ballads and high‑energy country‑infused tracks. It’s a release shaped by her extensive touring across the UK and abroad, capturing the soulful ’70s spirit she loves while giving it a modern, roots‑driven edge. UK audiences have been quick to embrace the EP’s honesty and melodic strength, placing Chandler among the most compelling emerging voices in the country‑Americana crossover scene.
With Watercolour now out in the world, Hattie is setting her sights on securing a major‑label deal and expanding her presence on the UK circuit. Her live shows—intimate, spirited and grounded in real connection—continue to build momentum, drawing in fans who crave authenticity over polish. For listeners tracking the next wave of homegrown country talent, Hattie Chandler stands out: soulful, ambitious and carrying the unmistakable glow of an artist on the rise.
