Chris Hanson, is an Americana folk musician native to the San Francisco Bay Area, with a compelling repertoire of songs and a soulful sound. Noted for his refreshingly raw, yet smooth, voice and brilliant lyrics. Hanson has been awarded best song by West Coast Songwriters two years in a row (2006, 2007). His songs encompass everything from a reverence for historical and political struggles to the hauntingly soulful bellows of unrequited love.
My attempts to create an Open at the Mama Buzz Cafe have failed. The will be no open mic at the Mama Buzz cafe. The "Every Second Sunday" open mic has been double booked for the second month in a row. It is clear I'm not suited to be the host of an open mic. Thank you all for your interest and support. My sincerest apologies to all musicians poets that hoped and even planned for this open mic.
Check out my new demos---I'm Coming Home and Give Me Shelter
