About the Artist

"Hans York is a man of vast musical talents and one of the best songwriters around." (European Weekly April 2005) “York's voice feels as smooth as an FM-Jazz announcer and pulls me right in. It's the perfect voice to front such richly textured music. He's a true Renaissance musician, skilled in many genres, knowing exactly how to blend them and sweep me off my feet.” Jennifer Layton (Indie-music.com July 2005) Hans has quickly made himself a name as an extraordinary DADGAD player and strong, engaging performer with a distinctive style and an irrepressibly delightful and approachable manner. His intimate and distinctive voice draws comparisons to Paul Simon, Kenny Rankin or Michael Franks and captures the audience with its honesty and clearness. He accompanied Robert Palmer on German TV, toured as bass player with the New York Broadway Ensemble, played throughout Europe with master harp player Rüdiger Oppermann, and performed a Concerto as Soloist on fretless bass with the "Ars Quittilinga" Chamber Orchestra. (Concerto written by contemporary East German composer Thomas König) Hans York co- founded the German Worldmusic cult band Moka Efti and recorded three CDs with them. The third album, “Fata Morgana” features US saxophonist Charlie Mariano and producer/saxophonist Heinrich von Kalnein (Vienna Art Orchestra). Hans spent six months in Rio de Janeiro where he studied Samba, Bossa Nova and popular Brazilian music, an experience that upon his return to Germany, inspired his first solo album “Hazzazar” and the follow up “Sau Gut.” Currently he is spending a lot of his time delighting audiences all over the US and Europe playing guitar with US National Scottish Fiddle Champion Jamie Laval or presenting his new Solo Album "Inside Out." Hans York is a world musician in the true sense of the term, drawing most of his present day inspiration from his vast eclectic background.

Product Description

“INSIDE OUT,” is the US debut solo album by German-born, Seattle-based musician Hans York. From the opening note of the first (and title track) “Inside Out”, listeners will encounter an inspiring journey into the heart and mind of a true world musician. This album is built for exploration, from the haunting “Listen To The Moon,” to the spiraling guitar work on “Lives Apart,” to the playful recollection of “California Waltz,” to the poignant melody and lyrics of the final track “Empty Tin.” “INSIDE OUT” is a dynamic ensemble of songs, each of which stands on its own. The album endeavors to leave listeners soul-searching and inspired!
