HANS OLSON is a veteran performing musician with 40 years in the music business. He began his career as a lead singer in a Rock & Roll band in Southern California in 1967. By 1970, Hans had developed a very unique and powerful solo act.
He plays an amplified acoustic guitar and harmonica. He is known as one of the best "harp-in-a-rack" players in the world.
Hans' singing is very powerful. His voice is comfortable singing many styles of music ranging from mellow folk ballads to growling boogie blues.
Hans' songwriting is one of his most notable assets. He has recorded over 70 of his songs on his 13 independent record releases.
Hans has been a full time performing musician since 1972. He tours all over the world, but most of the time he travels the highways in Arizona where he has an amazing reputation of being a solo act that can rock a nightclub all night long..
Hans plays music in a wide variety of styles influenced by artists such as:
Muddy Waters, Johnny Cash, Woody Guthrie, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Burdon,
Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones,
John Lee Hooker, John Hammond and Tom Waits.

Hans is the Best, I have known Hans for more than 20 years, and his music make feel better than any music I have in my colection. There is no other Blues Artist that makes me feel this way, I own all of Hans albums and I wish there were more available. You Wish is my favorite Hans Song of All Time, Evrytime Hans played Tony's I yelled out You Wish, He must have got sick of me...and with Arizona coming a close second for a second favorite . The rest all take third place to none.....
Rock on Hans... From a former Tony's New Yorker Employee..Now living in Montana
Hans you are the best and will always be the best...
Thank for all your music.

Not like anyone else

Hans music reminds me so much of John Lee Hooker. They have a way of stripping down a song right to the bone and saying what they feel. I get chills when I crank this stuff up and just sit back. I've been a Hans olson Fan since 72' when I saw him singing and playing his guitar in a park back in Ariz. I also own the recordings Kachina and Arizona. Can't wait until the rest of his collection is released. It's gonna happen!
