Hanna–McEuen was an American country music duo comprising first cousins Jaime Hanna and Jonathan McEuen. Both members of the duo sang, in addition to playing guitar and mandolin; Hanna also played harmonica, while McEuen also played banjo.[1] Their fathers, Jeff Hanna and John McEuen, co-founded the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, a country music band which had success in the 1970s and 1980s.[2] In addition, Hanna was formerly an occasional supporting musician for the Tex-Mex/americana band The Mavericks.[2]

Hanna–McEuen released its self-titled debut album on DreamWorks Records in 2005,[2] although the album's singles were distributed and promoted by MCA Nashville. The album produced a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in "Something Like a Broken Heart", followed by "Tell Me" at number 56 and "Ocean", which did not chart.

After disbanding, Hanna joined Gary Allan's road band, in which he plays guitar. He also co-wrote Allan's 2008 single "She's So California".[3] McEuen, meanwhile, has continued to record as a solo artist.[4]
