Koko & Kanzi (live at The Famous Gold Watch)

My Friends (Live at The Famous Gold Watch)

Shortly before we are playing at Schokoladen this Wednesday, I am proud to be able to present to you the first live video of the new trio line-up. My Friends is the first of three songs that we recorded live at The Famous Gold Watch in Berlin Weißensee with Cameron James Laing, who also mixed and mastered the forthcoming album Empathy there.

Koko & Kanzi / In Evil Long

The new single Koko & Kanzi is now available digitally. I added a cover that I recorded last week as a b-side. In Evil Long is a folk song found in The Shenandoah Harmony as an a-capalla version from 1848. I like how the song sounds like a ghost story and thought it would sound nice with more guitar.

Hans Sølo → Grizzly Bird

I decided I will no longer be making music under the name Hans Sølo. Relax, I will continue to make music. But I'm tired of being asked the same questions over and over. "Do you like Star Wars?" "Is the pun intentional?" "Why does it say solo, when there are other people on stage?" But most of all, the name is impossible to google. All you get is Star Wars. And it's impossible to find my videos on Youtube. All you see is Hip Hop by the various other musicians called Hans Solo. And Star Wars, of course. I don't like being influenced in my choice of name by computers and algorithms, but unfortunately in these times, this matters. A lot.

So from now on, I will be making music under the moniker Grizzly Bird. Try a search on Youtube. You will find my videos, finally. The show in Düsseldorf on Tuesday will be the first one as Grizzly Bird.

Koko & Kanzi

Pünktlich zu den Konzerten mit meinem neuen Trio in München, Füssen und Wuppertal, präsentiere ich euch das Musikvideo zu Koko & Kanzi, dem ersten Song aus meinem neuen Album Empathy, das dieses Jahr erscheinen wird.
