(Hans York, vocals, guitar, piano and cello)

Acoustic performer and singer songwriter Hans York from Seattle Washington will be performing at Sopchoppy’s Music and Art forum—“The Frog and The Hummingbird Co & Butterfield’s Roadhouse” on January 30, 2010 from 7:30 to 10 PM.

2008 Kerrville New Folk winner Hans York creates music with brilliant emotional momentum. He's a consummate musician, traveling between folk and jazz and pop effortlessly, while his voice soars above it all. Seeing him live, you understand that you are experiencing a world-class talent.

Hans York’s joy is infectious and his voice feels smooth, silky, and unique, with a breathtaking three-octave range that pulls you right in. Richly textured as well as utterly intimate, a true Renaissance musician that is skilled in many genres, knowing exactly how to blend them, and with the ability to sweep you right off your feet.

Live in Portland
German-born, National touring, Award winning Singer Songwriter Hans York has quickly made himself a name as an extraordinary open tuning (DADGAD) player. Hans is a strong, engaging performer with distinctive style, and an irrepressibly delightful and approachable manner. His playful voice draws comparisons to Sting, Stephen Bishop, Paul Mc Cartney, Kenny Rankin or Michael Franks, capturing the audience with its honesty and clearness.

He accompanied Robert Palmer on German TV, toured as bass player with the New York Broadway Ensemble, played with US national Scottish Fiddle Champion Jamie Laval all over the US and in Scotland , toured throughout Europe with master harp player Rüdiger Oppermann, and performed a Concerto as Soloist on fretless bass with the "Ars Quittilinga" Chamber Orchestra. (Concerto written by contemporary East German composer Thomas König) Hans York co- founded the German Worldmusic cult band Moka Efti and recorded three CDs with them. The third album, “Fata Morgana” features US saxophonist Charlie Mariano and producer/saxophonist Heinrich von Kalnein (Vienna Art Orchestra).

Hans spent six months in Rio de Janeiro where he studied Samba, Bossa Nova and popular Brazilian music, an experience that upon his return to Germany , inspired his first solo album “Hazzazar” and the follow up “Sau Gut.”

With his first American album “Inside Out” York breaks down the walls between world, pop, folk, jazz and acoustic music, by blending these styles with elegance and grace, resulting in a refreshingly original and intriguing work that shines with imagery and a joyful celebration of life and love.

Hans York is a world musician in the true sense of the term, drawing most of his present day inspiration from his vast eclectic background.

Reservations are strongly suggested.

Beverages and Dangerously Delicious Desserts are available throughout the performance at a nominal cost.

The Frog and The Hummingbird Co
& Butterfield’s Roadhouse is located at
