Bio
The Bryan Hansen Band is a soulful blend of Blues, Rock, Pop, & Funk. Our style has often been stated as being Dave Matthews Band meets John Mayer meets the Red Hot Chili Peppers meets Motown. Bryan's voice has been stated as being "As sweet & as smooth as warm maple syrup." The Bryan Hansen Band is composed of Bryan Hansen- Lead Singer & Guitarist, William Blakey- Bass & backing vocals, C'wan Merritt (aka Q)- Drums & Percussion.
Bryan Hansen Band has been featured in various venues, bars, wineries and coffee houses, articles, & radio stations in the tri-state area. Their sound is a mix of funk, rock, soul and R&B with music influences from Stevie Wonder, Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Al Green and Victor Wooten.
Fall 2016 Bryan Hansen Band released its sophomore record 'When You Stop Pulling Back.' Featuring singles "Tasteless," and "Tug Of War." On September 24th, 2016 the band played a sold out performance at the Union County Performing Arts Center Hamilton Stage with opener Kim Boyko. The album is a dedication to Bryan's father.
WBLS own Lenny Green featured the group on a live broadcast from Brooklyn NY.
Two years after the release of 'When You Stop Pulling Back,' the band returned to the studio to start work on their third full length album. 'Gas Money' was released October 12, 2019 at a Sold out show at the Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park, NJ; featuring 8 new original songs created together by the band. The first of three singles on the album, 'Diamonds,' was released on November 30th, 2018, followed shortly after by ‘Smiling Dashboard Jesus.’ Both songs have corresponding music videos.
"We have a saying in the band that Q came up with, 'Make it Do What It Do.' It's our mantra. Gets us through the rehearsals until midnight, performances, 6 hour recording sessions and pushes us to do what it takes to get through the day." -BH
