Almost Horizontal - Album Launch. Thursday 26th May at the Bedford, Balham. 9pm showtime.
Building on a successful career as guitarist and songwriter with The Dunwells, Dave Hanson launches new music with a laid back, rootsy vibe inspired by his love of JJ Cale, Dire Straits and The Black Keys. Working with producer Tim Palmer (U2, Pearl Jam, David Bowie), Hanson has succeeded in making an album of material that sounds warm and familiar but with a modern production value. Hanson’s easy going persona translates into his music which has a sophisticated and effortless feel –
“Somebody once told me – Dave you’re so laid back, you’re Almost Horizontal!”
After completing a successful pledgemusic campaign, the album will be released in the UK on June 3rd 2016 via INgrooves. Dave will be touring extensively in June to promote the album, including an “artist of the month” feature and tour with Caffe Nero, plus festival dates including Cornbury.
"'Blind Faith' is a warm-sepia toned stroll through an idyllic park, rife in friends, sing-a-longs and domesticated animals.” - Gigwise
“Hanson, however, manages very successfully to put together a music package that fuses the tradition of the best British song writing with American West Coast music style” – Bluebird reviews
“Pretty and bluesy but not aiming to be retro; it definitely has modern day relevance” – Maverick Magazine
