814 Originals Presents: Hannah Bingman Live at Webster’s Bookstore Café — Songs of Soul, Stories, and State College Spirit
Happy Valley, PA—Hannah Bingman isn’t your typical folksinger. Her music isn’t about fitting a mold; it’s about breaking it, sanding it down, and carving something deeply human out of the pieces. Raised in rural Pennsylvania and shaped by an ever-shifting list of roles—student, mail carrier, prison librarian, woodworker—Bingman brings every ounce of life lived into her songwriting. Her voice, raw and wise, and her guitar work, grounded and unpretentious, carry a quiet power. Over the years, she’s played basements and barns, festivals and front porches, always guided more by authenticity than ambition. If you've ever felt a song settle deep in your chest like a truth you’ve always known, you’ll find that feeling in her music.

The perfect place to catch Bingman in her element? Webster’s Bookstore Café—a haven for thinkers, readers, and creatives in the heart of downtown State College. Known for its cozy vibe and eclectic offerings, Webster’s combines thoughtfully selected used and new books, vintage treasures, and now, an updated food and drink menu that pairs beautifully with a night of live music. It’s more than a bookstore—it’s a community space where stories live, and there’s no better place for a storyteller like Bingman to unfold her magic.
Webster’s regularly hosts live music, poetry readings, author events, community classes, and creative workshops—many of which are shared on their Instagram @webstersbookstorecafe and Facebook under “Webster’s Bookstore Café.”
