NOV. 15 1-3pm
Jon Hanford is a singer-songwriter and former baseball scout whose performances blend intensity, sincerity, and unabashed dorkiness into a sound that mesmerizes and stirs curiosity. A lifelong musician, Hanford plays from the heart and writes about the complex life that fuels his art.
After moving to Austin this April with his band, Thee Ancient Asses, Hanford closed a six-year chapter in the Mojave Desert—where he found his soul and rediscovered his drive to make music and perform.
On the rare occasion he performs solo, Hanford offers stripped-back acoustic renditions of songs that are usually electric, harmonious, and ethereal.
