Hans Luchs
Overview
I am a guitarist and bandleader who loves to share music with other people. I have strong interpersonal skills and will always be prompt, clear, and polite in our correspondence. I look forward to working with you!
I can play in small or large configurations, with or without vocals. I am most known as a jazz guitarist, but I also love playing songs from other genres, including pop, soul, blues, rock, and various Latin styles. I also have many arrangements by different artists (such as Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Sting, etc) that I can play in a jazz setting.
I have played at clubs and festivals in the USA, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America.
Thanks for your consideration!

April 20, 2025Magical - Just what we were after!
Hans was awesome from start to finish. Clear, and responsive communication through the quoting process. Very upbeat, positive energy - he's just a super nice guy. Most importantly, he delivered the goods! Tasteful but interesting interpretations of jazz standards and pop songs, just like we discussed. I got tons of compliments from our party guests on his playing. Would definitely book again.

Additional booking notes
Requirements vary gig to gig, but most often I only need an outlet to plug into, and perhaps some kind of covering if the gig is outdoors.
