Hans Chew

Event information

Described as 'Sounds like early Elton John playing with The Faces' (Byron Coley, The Wire.)

Hans will play songs from his first album Tennessee and Other stories (shortlisted by Uncut magazine as one of their albums of the year in 2010) as well as some of his new material.

Hans returns to Brighton & Hove, this time playing as a duo with his stunt guitarist Dave Cavallo.

The new single "Mercy" is a juggernaut slab of classic '70's Muscle Shoals piano and wailing Stax-esque Telecaster.

Hans Chew's debut album Tennessee & Other Stories... received four-stars from Rolling Stone Magazine, who called it "fabulous... timeless... reminiscent of John Prine and Steve Earle", and Uncut magazine included
the album in their Top 50 Albums of the Year and their 20 Best Americana Albums, as well as nominating the pianist/singer/songwriter for their highest honor, The Uncut Award. We expect even bigger things from Hans
Chew with the release of his follow up album.

We are equally delighted that Dan Whitehouse is on this bill.
Dan has a knack of delivering subtle observations of life perfectly through his hushed voice.
