Aug 12th, 2008 · Singer-songwriter Jeff Hanson has one of the most incredible and unique voices you will ever hear. That is, from a guy.

But if you listen closer, there is far more to Hanson's music than his beautiful singing. The warm strings and acoustic guitars that back his sparkling falsetto are equally as dramatic, and the sound he has created is huge and anthemic in spite of his modest solo artist ouevre.
