A working class soul.
A ten pound steel guitar.
A voice dripping of nostalgia.
Writing and recording as a solo artist since 2014 has led to the release of albums including Medicine (2020), Live. In House (2021) and recent studio release, Rust Don’t Shine.
Every live performance exposes parallels between his personal journey and the American experience, no matter the size of stage.
Each song, a story to further develop the focus on the benefits and struggles that come with small town rural life.

Alli And i
Alli and I began their journey in 2007 when Andrew Standley took his guitar, Alli, to the corner of 7th & P Streets and sang for passersby in the Historical Haymarket of Lincoln, Nebraska.
It’s been almost 17 years since then, and the acoustic ensemble is rolling stronger than ever with dozens of tour dates and their new release out now. THE DOTTED LINES EP packs the punch of a thousand thoughts, with anthems written about, and from the road.
Over the past decade and a half, Alli and I have made hundreds upon hundreds of friends; have played LIVE everywhere from Boston to Los Angeles; from Minneapolis to San Antonio. Pair that with the long discography of two full length records, three EPs, and a LIVE record, it’s clear that Alli and I can deliver both on stage and in the studio.

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.
