ABOUT

Hey, I’m Hans. I live in Austin, TX. I have been playing drums since I was 5yrs old (professionally instructed for about 10yrs), and picked up guitar around 13. Now 34 with a wife/child/carrier, I am looking to get back into playing/writing/jamming/playing live, kind of whatever - just want fun and low stress. I tend to enjoy playing with seasoned or veteran musicians that understand structure and dynamics. I have a good bit of original material in my pocket but I’ll admit that lyrics are difficult for me. I am decent at writing hooks and chorus lines and describing what I want the song to be about, but I tend to get locked up in the verse lyrics. Side note: I was a luthier for about 12 years.
