Weaving melodies and rhythms with storytelling lyrics, Hansen Airship explores the wide open plains of creativity. Drawing inspiration from rags, bluegrass, fiddle tunes, and folksongs, the fun and compelling original songwriting is playful, creative, and finds plenty of opportunity for audience participation.
The acoustic string trio formed by Jenni Hansen (fiddle and vocals), Dave Hansen (guitar and vocals), and Brad Hayes (upright bass and vocals) from Lincoln, NE seeks to bring a modern approach to sounds of the past.

At first one may want to say the songs are simple and straightforward as an Americana song seems. But the complex layers of Depew’s music subtly unfold. The lyrics are often haunting and longing, guided by the mastery of instruments. The beauty and hardship of life weave together in each piece. I really enjoyed listening on a poetic level, the writing, and story that carries the song, combined with the pleasure of the music itself.
