I am a folk singer-songwriter who excels at writing and performing meaningful music. My songs walk a fine line between melancholy and empathy that I feel everyone can connect to.

July 27, 2025Andy provided background music for our daughter's wedding party and he was the perfect entertainer. He played a variety of music on guitar and sang and was eager to fulfill requests. His personal style and steady stream of music added warmth and created the relaxed atmosphere we were hoping to create. We would definitely hire Andy again!

Honest songwriting that walks the line between melancholy and empathy. I write songs to answer questions that I have and many other have as well.
At an early age, Andy Hanson knew something wasn’t right. Life seemed far more complicated then he was told it would be. Difficult situations appeared clean cut and logical while anticipatory simplicities proved challenging and awkward. Apparently everything would make sense when he grew up; the important things would eventually stand tall above the rest. That time has now come and that prescriptive path is evasive and elusive.
Through it all, music proved to be the most satisfying part of life. Andy writes music that celebrates life’s positive experiences along with the melancholic. Striving to be present in all aspects of life is the fuel that drives his music. Life is difficult. Music can help.
