Vermont-raised, New Orleans-based singer-songwriter Hans Williams grew up on his parents’ record collection—Al Green, Tracy Chapman, Steely Dan, James Brown, Tower of Power, and Funkadelic. That mix of soul, folk, and groove runs through the music he makes in New Orleans, an endless wellspring of sound and spirit, just like the records he grew up on.
Hans writes songs that are both lyrically personal and built for catharsis, threading emotion into melody in ways that resonate with anyone searching for the same release. With his band, his sound expands—introspection remains at the core, but it’s wrapped in rhythms that get people moving. His live shows work to balance reflection with energy, creating moments where the audience and band feed off each other without losing the emotional weight of the songs.
Hans is signed to Giant Music, and 2026 has centered on a forthcoming album, alongside singles “True Feeling”, “Nosebleed” with Lyla George and “Janie” (a collaboration with producer Phin Choukas).
Hans has built an audience of 1.6 million monthly Spotify listeners and surpassed 100 million career streams, led by “Skin” (50M+ streams) and “Willows” (20M+ streams). His music has drawn coverage from Billboard, Ones to Watch, and Atwood Magazine, and has landed editorial placement on Spotify playlists including Fresh Folk, Today’s Singer-Songwriters, and Morning Commute.
Hans has played shows all over the US and in Europe, including a 26-date headline North American tour in 2024 that was 90 percent sold out. He went on to tour with Hazlett in Europe and The Revivalists in 2025, and spent summer 2026 on the road with Chance Peña.
From Vermont to New Orleans to stages across continents, Hans Williams proves that honest songwriting and an independent spirit can take you further than you’d think—one show, one song, and one groove at a time.
