Greetings friends, I’m Christopher David Hanson, a passionate Nashville recording artist residing in the Ely area of Minnesota. I'm blessed to share my acoustic talents with audiences across the midwest area, bringing joy to resorts, breweries, wineries, bars, and festivals. I've had the privilege of sharing stages with an array of inspiring artists, including Trampled by Turtles, Charlie Parr, Gin Blossoms, Black Oak Arkansas, Live, Eve 6, Shannon Curfman, Cory Chisel, and even recording alongside incredible musicians from Wynonna Judd's and Carrie Underwood's bands. It's a thrill to acknowledge these accomplishments, but what truly matters is the passion and professionalism I bring to every performance. Get ready to be uplifted by my soulful blend of original story songs, blues, folk, heartfelt love songs, and timeless covers. I hope to see you at a show soon.
