Hans Williams

Hans Williams, the new voice of the American folk-soul scene, will be in concert on 12 December at Supersonic Records in Paris!

From Vermont and now based in New Orleans, Hans Williams draws on his parents' record collection to shape a music where soul, folk and groove meet. From Al Green to Tracy Chapman, by way of James Brown and Funkadelic, his influences feed intimate, sincere and deeply liberating songs. A sensitive songwriting, carried by melodies that move you as much as they make you want to dance.

Signed to Giant Music, Hans Williams is preparing his next album, after releasing the singles "True Feeling", "Nosebleed" with Lyla George and "Janie", in collaboration with Phin Choukas. Breaking through notably with "Skin" and "Willows", he has built a loyal and international audience. His music, praised by Billboard, Ones to Watch and Atwood Magazine, today resonates well beyond New Orleans.

After touring the United States and Europe, Hans Williams has notably performed alongside Hazlett, The Revivalists and Chance Peña. On stage, accompanied by his band, he turns his introspective songs into genuine moments of sharing, where emotion blends with infectious energy. A music that is as much lived as it is listened to, somewhere between groove, sincerity and the urge to let go.
