Hans: Bringing You What You'll Need Just in Time For Summer
Being out at the beach got me into 'beach bonfire' mode...oh, the firepit hangout, the perfect summer event. A time to get some good friends together with some good music and some good meat on a stick (oh, and you can't forget the smores)!
It just so happens that the perfect beach bonfire music will be hitting stores just in time for summer.
If you're into smooth tunes & laid back music with a wordly texture, then you may be interested in Hans David Rearick. His first CD is set to release June 2nd--just in time for SUMMER! Who doesn't love summer?!
Hans is a model turned musician who is very easy-going and genuine. We sat down and talked with Hans and within minutes he made you feel like a friend.
We talked about his life journey--from modeling for Elite and living on the east coast to moving out to California and becoming a musician. After college he moved to California and started doing some acting. Between jobs and auditions he had some downtime and that's when he picked up the guitar. I asked him if he'd played guitar since childhood and he had a funny story about that:"I actually got my first guitar for Christmas when I was in 1st grade. I wanted one because my friend got one. Well, I didn't touch it again until I was 18. At the time I liked the song Dirt by Phish; so I was curious if I could figure out how to play it...since then, haven't put the guitar down."
Hans plays by ear, 80-90% self taught, so the music comes from a very "raw place where you're not over-thinking it and losing the feeling of passion." You can hear the accoustic versions of his very raw and very real music on his website. He also has 4 tracks currently available on his myspace...keep checking back because he's always adding more as he moves forward with recording.
Make sure you listen to Beautiful Life--I'm telling you, you'll be listening to this song all summer long--it's so addicting and just puts you in a state of laid back nirvana.
