Bio

Hans is a Nashville-based keyboard player, programmer, and music director. With decades of experience in town, on tour, and in the studio, he enjoys doing excellent work for great people. He has toured with a variety of artists including Carrie Underwood, Shakira, and The Smashing Pumpkins. In town, Hans is involved in sessions, programming, arranging, various performances, and custom projects. He is currently Programming Engineer for Arcade Fire’s ‘We' Tour.

Leveraging technology to create individual solutions for artists is a primary focus for tour. Each playback or tech platform provides unique solutions. Drawing from years of experience in all aspects of live production, finding a solution for each situation is critical. The show must perform for the artist in a way that is seamless and reliable, regardless of the venue or situation.

From individual artists, to singing groups, production shows, and music direction, every project is important. Whether it is for programming, arranging, overdubs, tour dates, tech work, or recording sessions, feel free to contact Hans for any musical project you may have, big or small.
