I was fortunate enough to meet Hans at a little town bar called "The Spirit Room", in Jerome Arizona, on a rainy afternoon, and was just strolling past the bar whos swing doors were always open, and I heard the notes of a very slow and "Gut Bucket Harp comimg from behind those doors"! From his first tune to his last I was completly taken by his easy going ways, and his complete mastery of what he was playing! I made my way to his table during a break, and spent a very insightful, and pleasent few minutes with this artist. I went outside later and purchased a cd of his tunes he stored in the back of his vehicle, along w/ a sleeping bag among other things In short I have had the good luck to catch him here and there as he is the "Complete Reborne Troubador: plying his trade whereever he can. Its Arizonas good fortune that he decided to return to his adopted sate , after a time in San Franciscio, CA Dont miss a chance to catch his work , IF BLUES AND SLOW STORYTELLING IS TO YOUR LIKING AND TASTES "HANS OLSON", will leave you wanting more .. Buy one or all of his cds cause you wont find them at "Wally World" he hasnt and I dont believe ever will sell out his strong bond to his style of entertainment or trade them for fame or fortune . Hes a dying breed of musician, and we need all of such performers we can get !! Rock on Hans . You are Appreciatted more than you know.

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.

Danny
