CORY HANSON

“I’m so glad Cory Hanson exists. What he does is exactly what I want to hear from the instrument. He has a very arty approach which has a ton of heart in it – it’s a perfect balance. And he’s such a good singer and songwriter. He really puts himself out there emotionally, and goes out on creative limbs in all kinds of directions. My favourite albums of theirs are probably Perfume, Plum and Golem. His soloing is so creative and engaging – he knows how to make the instrument speak, whether his tone is big or small. I love it when music conveys a vulnerability that makes you feel you have a friend. He’s one of those people who can be just as powerful making soft acoustic music as making loud electric.”
